I enjoyed today’s top story, mostly because it makes too much sense. Think of the Republican party today, it’s all about free market and getting regulations out of the way. I can’t think of a sector more regulated and less free market that the electric utility monopolies. Imagine any other sector operated in this same fashion and the conservatives would be up in arms. I hope that regulators read this piece because what happened in Nevada is indicative of what could really fast track things against the system today. It’s one thing to change rules going forward like Hawaii and Arizona but Nevada went retroactive. That’s an overstep by the PUC and consumers will be up in arms about it.
