When rates go up because of a new data center, customers blame their new billing company, and the the energy supplier is shielded from criticism.

The only real "choice" you have in this so-called free market is who bills you. They can lock you in with promotional rates and then make it difficult to switch. And without a public commission, they can raise rates without limits.

Republicans and energy companies are pushing "retail energy", a supposedly free-market solution to rising electricity demand.

It's a ploy. They're trying to dismantle public commissions that approve rate increases. They insert middlemen without actually building infrastructure. #retailenergy
