BALANCE IS NEEDED - BALANCE IS GOOD….

STRAIGHT TALK AND A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY.

Privatization, as it certainly can be termed, of the electricity retail market in our state and a few others across the nation hasn’t worked.  There is an abundance of evidence to back up this claim.  Just read the postings in this blog. 

Regrettably, the politicians, legislators, industry representatives and their ever powerful lobbyists at both the national and state levels are able to maintain status quo for the most part.  It appears that electricity deregulation isn’t going away, at least not here in Texas.  We, the people, must make it at least tolerable.

Big business is winning at the expense of the people.  Our money, billions, continues to pad the pockets of the entrepreneurs.  The consumer, the little guy in this equation, is under represented.  We can do better.  I am trying hard with the operation of this Blog.

Again, I am issuing a call for more citizens to wake up, be an adult, become involved and better informed.  Ignorance is weakness.  Do your part.  More reforms are needed to restore consumer protections.

The best recommendation I've uncovered to date is for the PUC to force all REPS to offer a fixed plan with terms that have been standardized and dictated by law.  This measure would eliminate all the gimmickry and misleading sales tactics employed by the majority of the REPs.

More ‘fighters’ are needed to advocate for the interests of ‘Joe Homeowner’ with regard to this mess caused by electricity deregulation.  Tackle the issues in your own way.  Be vocal with your grievances.

 

INDEED, BALANCE IS GOOD AND NEEDED.
