Most utilities are effectively monopolies. Evil comes with the territory.

  And yet, how many utility poles and wires do you want in front of your house? I don't think we really want anything other than a monopoly doing our distribution. It would be much better for the perception if there were a clean split in the business of the utilities where the distribution monopoly does just distribution and nothing else. But I'm not sure if that would actually solve any real problems.

  They're regulated no? I'm a bit confuse here. I thought utilities are regulated what is the reasoning for them being evil? Yeah they're natural monopolies but they also regulated. I get that Enron mess California over but they got caught. What shady things that the electric companies in California are doing?
