Hi inesa, Re: Similar trip ups have occurred in other industries when the deregulation movement takes hold. Eventually things settle down for the Free Market to work its wonders. Righto, the opium trade in China in the 1830's for instance. British traders were able to engage their government to send gunboats up rivers in Imperial(anti-drug) China in the Victorian era in order to enforce "Free Trade" and to addict millions of Chinese to opium. Thus was Hong Kong created. Are you pretending to say that free trade is a good thing for the citizens of California? They're all addicted to electricity. Should they therefore be ripped off? Free trade is a disease and a lie. Best treated by the inoculation of telling the truth. And the truth is that electricity is far too important to allow a bunch of A-hole Republican campaign grafter/free trade slimers to be able to game the system for their own greedy purposes. Do you see it differently? I suppose you do. Cheerio!
