A scary and unnecessary waste. However, I'm just going to quote this bit of it, which does support my point on a need for continued regulation and updating of regulation:

The reasons for this growing gap are many, but the bulk of the problem is tied to outdated regulatory models for utilities. Many a utility shareholder might ask, who cares about efficiency if no one gets paid for it? Decoupling and other incentives, such as EPA regulations that will shut down the dirtiest (and many of the oldest) coal-fired power plants are two steps that will help to address the issue.


I'm going to check out your other links tomorrow. If I'm going to be properly outraged on a subject, the more educated I am on it, the better!
