It will be a truly deregulated market when a REP provides "block pricing"
for entire neighborhoods. The more neighbors/streets/blocks that want to be
involved, the better the price. No reason residential markets shouldn't be
able to negotiate price--it just hasn't been done yet (well, at least that I
know of).

That'd be a hoot, Kim! Imagine trying to get a bunch of neighbors to agree on
something like that. Maybe in those McMansion-CC&Rs-out-the-wazoo communities,
tho...

The big joke about all this is that we really don't choose who actually
generates "our" electricity. It's more of a shares type of thing.

And after the mess out on the Left Coast a few summers ago, and now the
revelations of Enron double-dealing, the idea of highly regulated monopoly
utilities looks better and better, in some ways.....

Which reminds me - how come we can't buy group auto insurance?
