	Electricity and gas: You choose! (EC) European Commission production: "Already effective in nine Member States, the liberalisation of gas and electricity markets comes into effect throughout the European Union from July 1, 2007. Consumers of electricity and gas across the whole EU now have the right to freely choose their supplier. Competitive prices, a quality service and consumers' rights protection should be the benefits of this liberalisation, started more than 10 years ago by the European Commission. The liberalisation of the gas and electricity markets should also reinforce the interconnections between the Member States and guarantee supplies for all EU consumers. The video will show how consumers in the Belgian Walloon region have reacted to the recent opening of competition since January 2007. It will also show British consumers, and how they choose their supplier nowadays in a market that opened several years ago."

LETS MAKE SURE ITS RON PAUL AND RALPH NADER IN NOVEMBER http://www.votenader.org/ this is nader on aljazeera 2/20/08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjUcQeUNsbE In 1971, Nader founded the non-governmental organization (NGO) Public Citizen as an umbrella organization for these projects. Today, Public Citizen has over 140,000 members and scores of researchers investigating Congressional, health, environmental, economic and other issues. Their work is credited with facilitating the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and prompting the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). In the 1970's and 1980's Nader was a key leader in the anti-nuclear power movement. "By 1976, consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who later became allied with the environmental movement 'stood as the titular head of opposition to nuclear energy'"He advocates the complete elimination of nuclear energy in favor of solar, tidal, wind and geothermal, citing environmental, worker safety, migrant labor, national security, disaster preparedness, foreign policy, government accountability and democratic governance issues to bolster his position. In 1980, Nader resigned as director of Public Citizen to work on other projects, forcefully campaigning against what he believed to be the dangers of large multinational corporations. He went on to start a variety of non-profit organizations: Capitol Hill News Service Citizen Advocacy Center Citizens Utility Boards Congress Accountability Project Consumer Task Force For Automotive Issues Corporate Accountability Research Project Disability Rights Center Equal Justice Foundation Foundation for Taxpayers and Consumer Rights Georgia Legal Watch National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform National Coalition for Universities in the Public Interest Pension Rights Center PROD (truck safety) Retired Professionals Action Group The Shafeek Nader Trust for the Community Interest 1969: Center for the Study of Responsive Law 1970s: Public Interest Research Groups 1970: Center for Auto Safety 1970: Connecticut Citizen Action Group 1971: Aviation Consumer Action Project 1972: Clean Water Action Project 1972: Center for Women's Policy Studies 1980: Multinational Monitor (magazine covering multinational corporations) 1982: Trial Lawyers for Public Justice 1982: Essential Information (encourage citizen activism and do investigative journalism) 1983: Telecommunications Research and Action Center 1983: National Coalition for Universities in the Public Interest 1989: Princeton Project 55 (alumni public service) 1993: Appleseed Foundation (local change) 1994: Resource Consumption Alliance (conserve trees) 1995: Center for Insurance Research 1995: Consumer Project on Technology 1997?: Government Purchasing Project (encourage the government to purchase safe and healthy products) 1998: Center for Justice and Democracy 1998: Organization for Competitive Markets 1998: American Antitrust Institute (ensure fair competition) 1999?: Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest 1999?: Commercial Alert (protect family, community, and democracy from corporations) 2000: Congressional Accountability Project (fight corruption in Congress) 2001: Citizen Works (promote NGO cooperation, build grassroots support, and start new groups) 2001: Democracy Rising (hold rallies to educate and empower citizens)
