reCalifornia has a partially deregulated system I wouldn't even go that far: It's completely regulated. What businessman in his right mind would go into California and begin a utility business KNOWING that he will lose all his money because he will not be able to charge what he is charged...in fact from the getgo he would have to charge less with promise in the future of paying even more and charging less! I went to pay my electricity bill in person and said "I do not want this credit: I want to pay my whole bill now: I do NOT want a big bill from you in a year or two"...the answer"We are not allowed to have you pay the whole thing. We HAVE to give you the credit"...when I asked what the procedure was for paying what we really owe the answer was "the state has not set anything up yet"....I never signed to get credit...why are they allowed to force it on me? Socialism indeed. A recipe for disaster. Freeus
