tell me the importance of electricity and more about privatisation?

Privatization allows for private companies to own industries instead of the public.  Some people think that this is bad but let me give you an example; The Fishing Industry.  Okay take a group of people seated in a circle and pass around a cloth bag full of chocolate candy kisses.  Tell everyone that they may each take as many as they wish and when the bag gets back to you, you will double the number of candies inside the bag and pass it around again.  I guarantee that the bag won't make it around the circle once before all the candies are gone, each person thinking that everyone else is conserving, so they can take a few extras.  Now give everyone there own bag of candies and tell them to take as many as they want and you'll double whats left.  This time everyone will have candy in their left in their own bag.  This is privatization.  This is an example of the fishing industry, now that some parts are privatized no one over fishes because then their area won't have any left for next year.

How are you gonna haggle with a company so big, they actually send you brochures on how to REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILL.  Believe me, you can either pay the fee or live in the dark.

As far as I am concerned, alternate suppliers have to prove that they have the know-how to continue to supply the lowest price electricity over the long term.  In my area, power prices are set by auction contracts.  My electricity supplier must be a "player" in the market with a good track record.  All of the other stuff is just fluff.  Show me the lowest $/kwh rate and lock it in for a decent length of time or go try selling used cars or something.

The easiest thing would be to switch all cars to hybrid.  Right now.  The technology is here.  Wind power now costs less than coal, but our government keeps giving money to the coal industry because of lobbyists.

Best Answer Chosen By Voters:\nLet me give you a more understanding answer to what electricity is than Ubi did.\n\nTo study electricity you must first understand something very important...    \n \nWhat do lightning, a flashlight, an alarm clock battery, and a toaster have in common?\n  \n \n Are you still thinking? Here are more items to add to the list: a computer, a car battery, a light bulb, the shock you feel when you shuffle across a carpet and then touch something. Their common link isn't something magical...\nThey are powered by a form of energy called ELECTRICITY. \nIt helps us do many things.\n  \n\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n \nThe Atom \nTo study electricity you must first understand something very important...    \n \nEverything is made of atoms. They are a very tiny particles made up of even tinier particles. The central part of an atom, called the nucleus, contains protons and neutrons. Orbiting around the outside of the nucleus are electrons. Protons, neutrons and electrons have their own characteristics. One of these is called an electrical charge. Protons carry a "positive" charge while electrons carry a "negative" charge. Neutrons carry no charge. Electricity happens when electrons get temporarily taken away from an atom.    \n \nNow that we have more information, it's time to look at our definition of electricity. \nELECTRICITY \nis a form of energy produced by the movement of electrons.   \n  \nA Little Electrical History...  \n                            Just 200 years ago, electricity was not used to power anything in the world. \n                            Who do we have to thank for discovering how to use it? \n     \n Electricity was not invented. \nIt occurs naturally in our world. People, however, have invented ways to measure it and to control it for our use. \nBen Franklin started working with electricity in 1740's. He believed that lightning was a flow of electricity taking place in nature. He performed his famous kite experiment in 1752 which proved that electricity and lightning were the same thing.\n\nLearn more about this great man and his experiment at \nThe Franklin Institute Online.  Thomas Alva Edison is another name important in the history of electricity. In the late 1800's he developed 1,093 inventions, but his most famous is the incandescent light bulb. He wanted to bring light into homes and factories. Up until then people used candles or whale oil lamps for light. \n \n\nHow many kinds of electricity are there?\n\nLet's think about the above examples for a minute... Did you notice that they don't all have wires! Electricity doesn't exist only in things with wires. The reason is that there are two kinds of electricity: static and current. \n   \n Try to figure out what types of electricity these are\nSTATIC ELECTRICITY:The Facts/ CURRENT ELECTRICITY:The Facts \na build up of electrons\n                              the steady flow of electrons between objects or places. It comes from far away on wires.\n \nstays in one place until it jumps to an object\nneeds a conductor, a substance that allows electrons to move easily through it\n \n                                   does not need a circuit \n needs a closed circuit to flow\n \nthe kind of electricity you feel after you drag your feet across a carpet and touch someone or something\n                                  the kind of electricity that powers the appliances and heat in your home\n \nlightning is static electricity on a more spectacular scale\n the kind of electricity in a battery\n\nHope this helps, worked really hard on it.

All you need to do is add the power requirements of all the equipment you will use, not forgetting things such as lighting, air conditioning, extractors, fans, drinks or food dispensers, water or any other heaters, office equipment (computers, fax machines, copiers etc.) \n\nThen speak to you electricity supply company and discuss it with them.

Electrical power is a little bit like the air you breathe: You don't really think about it until it is missing. Power is just "there," meeting your every need, constantly. It is only during a power failure, when you walk into a dark room and instinctively hit the useless light switch, that you realize how important power is in your daily life. You use it for heating, cooling, cooking, refrigeration, light, sound, computation, entertainment... Without it, life can get somewhat cumbersome. \n\nPower travels from the power plant to your house through an amazing system called the power distribution grid. \n\nThe grid is quite public -- if you live in a suburban or rural area, chances are it is right out in the open for all to see. It is so public, in fact, that you probably don't even notice it anymore. Your brain likely ignores all of the power lines because it has seen them so often. In this article, we will look at all of the equipment that brings electrical power to your home. The next time you look at the power grid, you will be able to really see it and understand what is going on! \n\nfor more pl. visit:\nhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/power.htm

This is really impossible to say, being both a science and political question.\n\nReactors need to be close enough to the energy grid and populations that the energy lost in transmission is minimal.  On the other hand, far from populations to limit the ramifications of a meltdown.\n\nTransporting waste is risky itself.  So easy safe access to storage sites is important.  On the other hand, risk of contaminated water and people stumbling on it would have it far away.  Not to mention the possible ecological side-effects to local fauna.\n\nThere's no best answer in a real world, just some less awful ones.

You may have to pay for the excess power that you use. However, the rate would be the same as we charge the electric company. So you would be buying your power at wholesale rates. That is bound to be a better price than you are currently paying.

They dwelled in houses and actually had electricity!\n\nYour question is still much too general.  \n\nWhere?  In what country (countries)?\n\nThere must be some specific subject  -- for instance, technologically, socially, politically -- on which your answer should be centered.\n\nThe more specific you can get, and the more information, you provide, the more appropriate answers you'll receive.\n\nGood luck.

Drive less (or stop alltogether) and lobby your politicians for renewable energy reform.  Also, turn the lights out, keep your lint filter clean, skip a shower, turn computer and monitor off when not in use, eat organic, use natural cleaning supplies, put furnace on a timer, turn water off while soaping up in shower, reuse everything, read Walden by Henry David Thereau, etc.
