The answer to what elctricity is is that there is NO answer, since NOBODY knows what electricity even is EXACTLY... not scientist, engineers, electricians,etc......

This isn't something EU should care about. It's up to citizens in each country to decide. EU is not democratic by forcing this on us to comply to this. This viedo clip is nothing more than propaganda. The reality is completely different. We got the right to choose who's going to rip us off. We didn't get the right to choose a reliable and cheap electricity market.

i'm dutch and can tell you that it aint getting cheaper... its the other way around... its so fucking expensive nowadays people cant pay their gas bills anymore.

Oh yes, let the market set the price like it did in California. I'm sure $10,000 a kilowatt hour isn't too expensive for you guys.

I don't think a liberalised market would make energy cheaper in the long run. As EU countries have enough stability to hold prices at a fixed rate: for them loosing money on energy should not be a problem, in opposition to a company which actual purpose is to make money. With this kind of market, a simple crisis can make the prices climb pretty high.
These may be my socialist feeling awakening, but I believe the state is here to give lasting cheap commodities. A company is here to make money.

At the end, all this liberasation means that goverments will force energy distributors to allow one more distributor ... so you electrisity bill could look like: Nuclear fac/windmill + main high voltage distributor + smaller distributor + another distributor + local distributor + street distributor + your neighbour. Wow ... no wonder the electristy prices wil skyrocket, even having in mind that production cost will not be so high. The video shows only one side and doesnt go deeper enough.

Well i am from Lithuania, considered dumb, so explain me how energy "liberasation" works.
As video showed, we have: produsers, distributors and ... and consumers.
So, i dont get it. At the end, we have distributors, wich decides the price for end user. And how can we have MORE distributors ("competition") if there is ONLY ONE cabel and GAS PIPE going to your house. ONE! There is only ONE high voltage cable grid. ONE!

Two observations:
1) I haven't seen one positive comment about the liberalisation. I think most people posting are Continental Europeans, but still...
2) The video talks about "Britain, where there has been liberalisation for several years now". Yes, that would be since Thatcher privatised the industry in *1989*, *before the European Union even existed*.

Where is NORDSTREAM in this presentation? The real purpose is to make us dependent of russian energy supplies - just like drug addicts. It is good old Stalinist policy in a new packet. But we DONT WANT IT |
