There is an effort in Maine to create a not for profit utility company. Power companies, which include foreign entities in Qatar, are fighting the effort tooth and nail.
I always thought power companies were essential monopolies and that this would be in our best interest. There can only be one pole and grid system or things get awfully crowded. And utility companies are masters at privatizing profit and socializing debt. Consumers get screwed left and right.
Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
