If only the power generation and electrical grid were publicly owned (see Germany's success with installing rooftop PV panels).
But instead we have a public/private "partnership"... PG&E, SCE, Sempra, SDG&E, etc...siphoning off profits and steering us deeper into centralized, dirty, and expensive energy production/distribution.
These megacorps socialize the cost and privatize the profits.
Guess who will be paying for the boondoggle known as San Onofre?

Rochelle Becker of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility believes the motivation behind the restart plan is that, under state law, ratepayers should not be charged for a plant that is offline more than nine months.
“All they have to do is operate this plant for 90 days,” she said, “and they will be allowed to start charging customers again.”
State regulators are currently considering how much is reasonable for ratepayers to pay of the hundreds of millions of dollars the fiasco has cost. Becker said Edison should cut its losses.
