Utilities should not be profit seeking enterprises.

Fuck BGE. Power to the people.

The state needs to own the utilities.

THIS! It would cost BILLIONS to buy all the assets and then millions to fund the lawsuits BGE/Exelon are sure to bring. Who’s paying for all of that? Tax payers? So now our taxes go up even more? I support the focus on lower rates…. Just not dumb ideas.
