Interestingly, the true “redneck republican” states (e.g., Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia (historically, at least, though seemingly trending)) tend to have fully vertically integrated utilities (generation, distribution, delivery) and presumably have more control over maintaining quality of service. Their retail prices are quite a bit higher, for now at least, but that differential may narrow as the states that deregulated their power systems rebuild the reliability gap.
