The French divided on the consequences of opening up electricity markets.

The French don't really know what their electricity bill will look like after the market opens to competition in 2007 : 34% think it will go down, 32% that it will rise, and 30% no change, according to a Monday CSA poll for "France Europe Express" and France Info radio.

Partisan differences, however, show opposing trends: 40% of right-wing sympathizers think their bill will go down, (23% up), while 36% of left-wing sympathizers say it will go up (34% down).
