Actually it’s a deregulated market with respect to electric providers. Same thing happened to interstate pipelines decades ago.Where are you getting electric service for your home? ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ... the government tells you who and it's strictly illegal to seek it from any other source ... ha ha ha ha ha ...
You want six sets of utility poles and six sets of overhead wires and six sets of drops nailed to your house ... and then all six companies will sit down behind closed doors and SET PRICES to guaranty profits ... BIG profits ... capitalism at it's finest ...
I get that we are no longer a society based upon free markets. I get that it’s an illusion. That doesn’t mean it’s good to do more of it. It’s not. It’s a bad fucking idea.
