For nearly 90 years, Nebraska has it’s own bit of “socialism on the plains” in the form of public power districts and no investor owned or private companies.

Overall, it seems to have worked out well, along with a one house unicameral legislature of 49 state senators. Both the creation of George W. Norris in the 1930’s.

Thanks for the info.

I think munis and coops work well because they are locally controlled. If the customers get unhappy, the POUs respond to local political pressure.

That's a lot different than having the geniuses in far-off DC making decisions for you.
