When America was formed, energy was firewood. Local control and production. Now it's all beyond citizens' control and we pay and pay.

$334 million? Peanuts. Why doesn't Amazon just buy the whole company and do what it wants? No, they want some other entity to supply their electricity. We will never be free of these monopolies.
