You are aware that all utilities are public/private mandated monopolies, right? That it isn't really "corporate" profits that are being increased here, but "crony capitalist" government appointed officials?

And does it *matter* to you if it results in everyone having cheaper electricity? If it bends this graph down?

Everything's a trade-off. Sometimes the trade really *is* a little worse health in exchange for jobs, exports, a reduction in poverty, and more government revenue. That's kinda life.
