>>>but they're still doing it no? Why don't you wake up and ask your self why instead of hiding your head in a hole.<<<

Resturctuing is not dereg. If it looks like they're headed into an abyss they can always choose to pull back. Better to take tentative steps than to jump off the cliff screaming "Freeeee Maaaarkeeettts!!!"...though it sounds good until you splat. (Still good money in transmission and generation even with regulation.)

>>>Prices fluctuate my dear... I know this creates "agnst" in the coffee shop among the politico wannabees...<<<

Me agnst? Hardly. My rates are still quite reasonable. With the exception of yourself I've detected more than a little agnst from some of the thread's western posters. You "free marketeers" out there get ready to bend over. I think you're headed for a lesson in Greek culture. I'll do my best to feel your pain...Ooops...on second thought, nah.

The one guy on the board who's actually in the biz is still solidly in the regulation camp for now due to flawed modeling on the dereg side of the argument. Tell you anything?

I think "freer markets" would work in time provided dereg preceeded by restructuring was accomplished on a more regional rather than state by state basis. That may prove impossible. People would actually have to think about geo-electrical-poltical issues in terms of common good...unlikely as it might cut into the huge profits they could make by screwing as many users as possible.

I have to give Skeeter Bug's argument that dereg/"free markets" is just a rouse for one of the largest transfers of wealth we'll see in our lifetime some credit. It appears to be netting so many suckers.
