most utilities are monopolies
That's interesting. In Norway and UK, etc., You can buy your electricity from any operator you like. The only monopoly is the power cable. So I get two bills, one for energy and the other for the transport of it.
- mmt 8y ago> The only monopoly is the power cable. That there, is enough, though. It's not as if you could choose not to pay for that portion and pay only for the energy. As such, the rate could go up without bound. (Well, bounded by competition from off-grid systems that are 2-6x as expensive in the long run and have a huge up-front cost).
