So where was this then? Luxembourg? Zaire? I think we should be told or the article should be deleted. Emeraude 22:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

U.S., which I've now indicated. It was actually a pretty important group, the main organization opposing municipal ownership of the electrical grid. This deserves a real article. What little I know on the topic is from Richard C. Berner, Seattle 1900-1920: From Boomtown, Urban Turbulence, to Restoration, Charles Press (1991), ISBN 0962988901, but of course that has a very locally specific focus, so I don't feel ready to take it on. - Jmabel | Talk 06:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, should mention that Chicago's Samuel Insull was prominent in NELA. p. 43 of the abovementioned Berner book would be one citation for this. Berner indicates as a good source on NELA: Douglas Anderson, Regulatory Politics and Electric Utilities: A Case Study in Political Economy (1981).
