I am an industry retiree who knows more about running a power grid than most of the internet strangers here. My main fault is that I sometimes think people will listen to reason instead of being sheep to a corrupt politician.

Have a nice night. But be careful what you wish for. There is zero evidence a state takeoner will get you cheaper or better power.

I know a lot of people that get power from local coops and they all get better rates AND service than the surrounding towns serviced by for-profit electric companies. Of course we don’t know what the future holds but assuming it is worse than the “devil we know” is not a way to improve things.

CMP and parent consistently ranked worst of their class regularly.

Isn’t too hard to do better by the sounds of it. Maybe the state will actually trim trees.
