On the contrary, while WA State is very Marxist, the voter review of power company rate increases is as it should be because our hydro dams were built by the government and sold to private power companies. I am not sure that the actual dams were sold, but the right to operate them was sold.
Your wind farms were built with federal dollars as well, so what’s the difference?
The power producing dams in your state are not owned by private companies.
And any agreements that your power companies may have with the federal government are not relevant as to why the people of Washington State would be abel to dictate to these private companies what they can and cannot do.
And being the the federal taxpayer paid for those dams to be built in Washington State, can citizens of California, New York, Florida and Texas dictate the prices that people in Washington State pay for electricity?
