"Deregulation will make U.S. utilities more efficient, consumer-friendly, and entrepreneurial — as they are in Europe. It will release pent-up market forces, incentivizing fleet-footed utilities to thrive, and forcing stragglers to either measure up or shut down. It will transform rate-payers into customers, who, if not treated well, would be free to take their business elsewhere. With such obvious benefits, why shouldn’t the U.S. shed its fear of deregulation?"
