[quote=decocritter]De regulation basically doubled our gas bills, while the consumer has had to really conserve. You have to pay a marketer and the piper. My gas bill used to run $12 -20 for most of the year but winter.
But remember when the proponents of deregulation were going on and on about how the increased competition would lower our gas bills? Thanks bunches for that one, huh?
They made the same promises about deregulating electricity here and that was used to justify removing a lot of regulations on the cable companies. Same result. Hopefully people paid attention and will keep that in mind the next time they come around and ask to deregulate the next utility. :villagers:
