Expanding on ideas related to my heirloom electricity concept, clean energy executive Sunil Sharan has an interesting essay on the Washington Post Innovations blog, "The lesson from Solyndra: It’s time to deregulate the energy market."
His conclusion,
"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? Europe and Texas have both proven that it can work."
