The "Buzz" On Electricity

I read an interesting article in the paper about Ohio's nearing electric crisis. One of the most interesting things about the article was that it mentioned how Ohio businesses pushed for deregulation of electric power several years ago (love that free market philosophy!), but now that the "promised land" of competition and lower rates hasn't materialized, these same folks are now begging for help from the State of Ohio to protect them from the looming higher rates in the "not so promised land." I welcome them to the side of common sense, but I still have to say "I told you so!" And further, the "un-rich" aren't the ONLY ones who turn to government at some level for help!!!
