					<description><![CDATA[I do not give a damn about my electricity bill. I will keep by my budget and what Joe would spare me I will invest in lighting up more and consume according to my budget and convenience not Joe`s or Konrad`s. 

I am sure our power station is doing a fine job and is geared to be linked to the European grid.

What I am keenly looking forward to is the departure of Joseph Muscat, March 2015.

Beppe Fenech Adami said it right &quot;Ghadkom lanqas zrara ma tfajtu fl-art fil-power station il-gdida&quot;.

The interconnector will be used to provide cheap rates to the continent. There&#039;s already been some grumbling by the new Chinese shareholders that salaries are on the highish side. 

This is nothing but classical Chinese strategy, undercut market prices, send competitors into a spin and take over. 

Or at least, that&#039;s what the plan was. This latest development must be linked to the US offensive on LNG unit price, leaving everyone to wait and see. Believe me, this won&#039;t go away. 

Muscat fancies himself as some high risk high reward gambler, problem is he misunderstands the game. This is not APSO, Ghaddafi&#039;s dead and China&#039;s strained internally beyond recovery. 

Choosing to remain outside the European project, which translates into a common energy strategy, will cause exactly the above, no one will think twice to offload this tiny insignificant place. The EU gives us a place at the decision making table, something which, alas, Muscat interprets as an occasion to veto. 

So be it.]]></description>

They should have as that is what has supposedly paid for this years cut in utility bills.

It&#039;s either that or they will need to flog more passports. Which is why the government were so desperate to get the IIP up and running, in my view.]]></description>

Just watched a very embarrassed Konrad Mizzi trying to reply to Net News reporter&#039;s questions regarding recent reports that out of stock medicines are being distributed to chosen clients through Labour Party clubs. 

He was at a complete loss. 

After a barrage of questions he gave up, spurted out &#039;Thank you&#039; and dashed off.]]></description>
