Brilliant. Love the idea of “energy democracy.” When you list out all the aspects of decent human life that have been left to the ravages of for-profit ventures, there’s a compelling argument for more cooperative ownership. Housing, healthcare, food and energy are not the only basic human rights that aren’t currently well-served. The move to privatize more - education, water infrastructure, social safety nets - shows the last gasp of (one hopes) a dying economic model.
