		<description><![CDATA[For the Dutch version, please click here. The Belgian ministers Vandelanotte en Wathelet, responsible for economy and energy, want to investigate the high prices of energy in Belgium. Apparently, they consider the introduction of maximum prices. This obviously sounds logical to citizens. If the prices that those vilified energy suppliers charge for their gas and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=energytics.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7720754&amp;post=319&amp;subd=energytics&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
