Doesn't even have to be municipal...I'd settle for a strongly regulated public/private partnership...but really nothing we have now works.

Around here, our electric service is kind of like that. You have your supply (the energy provider) and your distribution (the wire owner). We can choose our own supply but we have to have the distributor that's in the region. There's some good suppliers but there's also a lot of scams.

That's the closest analogy we have currently to what I'm talking about, but still not quite perfect, since as far as I'm aware the electric supply thing is more like a group-buy of bulk energy and weird business math.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
