Private companies should not own public utilities. No one should make a profit on things a community needs in order to thrive. Our forty year orgy of privatization must give way to an appropriate balance between individual economic interests and a concern for the common good.
Pennsylvania passed a law incentivizing private companies to buy publicly-owned water systems. Now residents are seeing their water bills skyrocket. One local official put it bluntly during a hearing today: "People should see privatization for what it really is — a scam."

You still have the same problem in that there’s only one option. I have PG&E in CA, and the bills get so outrageous that some of us are trying to sleep with the heat off. We need to end the monopolies and have more choices, competition would drive prices down.

You don't really have any idea what you're talking about. Whether you're right or wrong is not even relevant....you have no knowledge of your own on this subject.
