The article doesn't explicitly go into it, but I get the impression this could be greatly improved by making those utilities public instead of private and requiring certain standards rather than encouraging them.

I read the post backwards, somehow, in spite of reading it twice. Oops.

~~Yes, because that's worked so far for the train wreck that is the US healthcare industry or the Texas energy grid.

There are a lot of things to improve, sure, but turning it over to private industry is not the right one.~~

You may want to reread what I said.

Sorry about that. I read it twice and still somehow misread. Thanks for pointing it out.,
