    I’m certain they’ll lower prices, improve customer service, and invest in clean energy initiatives.

    Seriously though, I’m part of an electric co-op with a utility manager that has been arrested for dui, convicted of beating his ex-wife, and on top of that stuff he used to flip me the bird every time he drove past our house simply because I had to call the Public Service Commission to get the utility to trim the tree above the power lines. I still wouldn’t take a private equity firm though.

      I would never consider doing business with a morally bankrupt monster like that. Your utility manager on the other hand sounds like an interesting fellow.
