All public infrastructure should be run using the co-op model and financed directly by government. Both private investors and government have consistently failed to "do the right thing" on almost every level. That includes electric, water, communications (fiber), and transportation (roads, bridges, railways and buses).

> “financed directly by government” Wouldn’t work in my city where tax raises have to be approved by voters and they refuse to accept a tax increase to pay to fix the water system and re-pave the roads. The city government sends fliers round explaining to people that they need to vote for it, but to no avail.
