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.,
