Competition is Watt Matters

AUSTIN – A study released Monday reveals that for the third year in a row, Texas has been rated No. 1 in residential electricity competition and No. 1 for the second year in a row in commercial energy competition.

“ Lone Star State consumers have benefited from a competitive electricity marketplace,” said Peggy Venable, state director of Americans for Prosperity, “We have good news in Texas , and it is not result of a top-down regulatory regime, but of allowing the free market to work. Consumers like choices and have taken advantage of those opportunities in selecting their electricity providers.”

Texas leads the nation in wind turbine capacity and wind energy production. States which have vibrant energy markets have experienced rapid growth in renewable generation.

“We Texans like to brag,” said Venable. “The Texas Legislature has opened the electricity marketplace and consumers have responded.”

Most consumers have 130 different offers and four out of five consumers have exercised their ability to choose. Consumers are the beneficiaries of a vibrant electricity marketplace, according to the new study.

The Annual Baseline Assessment of Choice in Canada and the United States (ABACCUS) results evaluating the effectiveness of retail choice in the electricity industry were released Monday. The study, Assessment of Restructured Electricity Markets, is a project of the Energy Retailer Research Consortium.

“Unfortunately, not all consumers have the opportunity to choose their provider,” said Venable. “Those of us in municipally-owned utility regions and those in co-ops can’t choose other providers until the cities and co-op boards elect to allow competition. And that could be a freezing cold August day in Texas before that happens.”

The Lone Star State has been ranked first in residential and commercial electricity restructuring and benefits derived to residential and commercial consumers.

Consumer choice has helped provide lower prices and more alternatives for consumers in every state which has embraced free market competition.

My intuition tells me I copied this to some, if not all, of you at the time it was posted. 5/1/09 at the California Patriots (Resistnet.com). I am not sure how to go about researching to find the person or the post. I tried last nite in my limited capacity and came up with nothing. The post is disconcerting to say the least. Input is welcomed. God bless

"Proof that H1N1 is not a new strain and Obama is connected to the outbreak!"

Did you see the eary Show this morning? There was a guy from the National Institute of Health, Dr. Anthony Fauci. He said there has never been a strain of this swine flu called H1N1. I have proof that is a lie and I also have proof the President is connected to the outbreak and it was intentional. In case something happens to me, I want to pass this to people who would get it to who needed it. My real name is (deliberately withheld), and if you hear about anything happening in my area, please release the information. Obama's vetter to pick his VP is named James A. Johnson. He is the vice-chairman of a company called Perseus LLC.

First, research this company. Muckety.com is a good site that shows the connection. Anyway, Perseus LLC has given a lot of money to a lot of Obama's new cabinet. They also have given a lot of money to a company called NanoBio for reserach into influenza intra-nasal vaccines. The FDA has just approved the companies IND application for Phase 1 clinical studies on a vaccine called NB-1008. This approval came the same week as the outbreak started. The government has hoarded and distributed the Tami-Flu but we don't have enough. This company stands to make billions, if the government can expedite the approval of NB-1008 but there needs to be an epidemic or pandemic in order for it to be sped through the processs. I believe this is the reason they are making it into such a big deal even though no one has died in the U.S. (technically, the boy in Texas was from Mexico). Richard Holbrook(e) is also a vice chairman with Perseus.

Read this for the testing info - http://www.nanobio.com/Vaccines/Influenza.html

You will see that they have been testing NB-1008 on mice infected with the H1N1 strain. It's right there!!! Also, check out the board of Directors for NanoBio at http://nanobio.com/Company/Board-of-Directors.html - Read Mr. Normal C. Selby's bio. He is right under the chairman of the board, He is Senior Managing Director for.....You guessed it, Perseus LLC! Oh, he was also the Executive VP at Citigroup/Citicorp from 1997-2000. NanoBio has received about $85 million through grants, contracts and equity financing from investors including Perseus LLC. Also look up James A. Johnson on Muckety.com and see the connections. Again, if something happens to me, tell as many people as you can. By the way, all three of the top positions in Perseus LLC are members of Bilderberg, CFR, Fannie Mae, and Countrywide. Just Muckety Perseus, LLC and James A. Johnson and Richard C. Holbrook(e). It's all there people...just connect the dots and show your family!

What do you make of this? I have the person's name that posted this but did not feel free to include it but there is no way to know if or where in California he resides. With all the nonsense going on I can not say his name or anyone/anything mentioned in this post brings up a red flag. Thank you in advance and God bless.
