Deregulation is the biggest problem to our energy security and strength of our grid.
Our energy are now in the hands of private companies who only worry about the bottom line. They want profits. So they save billions of dollars when they allow the grid system to deterioriate. None of them want to assume any responsibility over something they think the federal government will step in and fix after things get bad enough.
Fully government owned, regulated energy will be cheaper for everyone and the security of the grid will be assured since the only two objectives are to provide power to everyone and to make sure it keeps on running. Profit is not involved.
