A couple of years ago, here in Southern California, the electric company was deregulated. This annoys me for several reasons. There was no real competition, and the prices never became cheaper at all. It was a big lie! Not until recently did I learn that the cable company can't have competition because there would be too many wires dug up in the ground. I assume that there can't be competitive power companies for the same reason. So it was a lie! All that resulted was reduced services and the need to hire an electrical contractor for basic problems that the power companies would have resolved prior to the deregulation.

When I saw the title I was reminded of that old pbs show that most folks here likely never heard of here.
Deregulation is often a badly done thing in what I've heard. Certain things should be regulated for the greater good I think.

Yeah, like auto insurance and life insurance and health insurance and things... Works great to those who can afford it!

You know what Kor, I thought of that too! XD My uncle was on that show, years ago. It's really cool to hear him talking about working alongside Morgan Freeman and other future stars. I hope the deregulation issue gets solved soon too. I have family in Southern California!
