[quote user="MP173"] <P>Lets ask the folks in Illinois and California how well open access for the utilities has worked.</P> <P>Hmmm. shortages of electricity in California earlier this decade and...hold your hats electric rates going up 50% plus in Illinois with the open access/deregulation scenario.</P> <P>ed</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Ed,</P> <P>This is the second time you have wrongly associated region specific energy problems to open access. The problems in California are well known, as they involved a very skewed partial dereg scheme that backfired as predicted, coupled with the general atmosphere of environmental idiocy that lends itself to feelgood foolishness such as carbon taxes, renewable mandates, and of course our crabby neighbor known as NIMBY. Illinois is probaby in the same boat of environmental extremism metastisizing itself into misplaced public policy.</P> <P>To suggest that either State's energy price woes are related to the open access concept is just plain dishonest.</P>
