| Message | We would prefer "Public and Private powerstations operate side-by-side" that way it guarantees that at least some power will always be available to the national grid in an emergency, but that private industry could still operate in order to reduce costs to the grid and maintain a competitive industry. In relation to the supply of energy direct to the consumer, we would prefer that it remain private hands so as to maintain low price competition and servce, but there should be regulations imposed on those companies so as to protect the consumer from unscrupulous business practices. |
