Re: northeast power outage

[Alma J Wetzker]

I am not sure that regulation or de-regulation is really the problem. 
It seems to me to be this strange, hybrid, government solution that is 
both and neither.  If we want competition, deregulate the WHOLE thing 
and allow competition.  If we want regulation, stop pretending that the 
power companies should turn a profit and be listed on the exchanges. 
Anything else is silly and doesn't work very well.

No, I don't think we disagree on this. I just didn't expound on the
underlying reason for the current mess in the power system. That is
DE-REGULATION of the industry.

I don't agree with you.

However, the case for modernization for something is made
everyday in government circles.
