for atruly great diary, and a great thread. I'd love to participate more, but my internet options are getting steadily worse, andI am writing this against the clock on a computer with abroken space key...

Two quickthings:

• I have found out recently that an old high school acquaintance works in the energy team ofthe competition directorate of the EC , so that might be a door t o sendfeedback there (he is pro free markets, but has interesting insights on the Commission vs governments dynamics);

• we need to work on this individually and collectively. We need to get an "Energize Europe" paper out soon. I'll work on it on my side - i hope otherscanbdoso aswell and we discuss this out inthe nearfuture;

• ifyou have any messagesto sendout in the short term, I'llbe happy to send themout under my email and ET byline, if youthink that's useful. Just send me over the stuff. I thinkthis  diary shoulddefinitely becirculated widely as it is.

sorry for the mangled spelling, and for probably not answering any further (this is pretty frustrating for me, as you can imagine...)

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
