While shopping at the mall, and in my usual pattern of loving to visit with strangers, I engaged in a friendly conversation with a department store sales management person after she had assisted me with a question. I asked her, "Do you know who your current electricity provider is?" This is my usual test question.
The attractive professional perked up and quickly responded yes she certainly did know and proudly gave me the name of the provider. She proceeded to tell me her husband was a thirty year plus employee of CenterPoint Energy and that she and her husband and their network of friends and associates knew all about deregulation and had exercised their right of choice many times through the past eight years.
I then told her of this Blog that I had assumed full responsibility for and what its purpose was. The lady warmed my heart by offering a commendation and words of encouragement for my efforts. People, she has never seen the blog or read any of the postings, but nevertheless offered her compliments because of her and her husband's keen interest in this matter.
Her statement to me was, and I quote, "deregulation has not been good for our state and is hurting everyone. There was no good reason for our electricity utility to be deregulated".
I needed to hear another informed citizen echo my sentiment and belief. I feel validated and more energized now to continue this campaign. Hallelujah .
