Utilities

[Pheidippides]

I agree that it is unlikely that the local utilities would be receptive to such a venture and I realize they are really well managed (especially K-W), but if it were to happen it would have nothing to do with actual efficiencies, hence the quotation marks around the words. That doesn't mean that some sort of merger won't be forced upon them even if just for the optics of looking out for "the people" and trying to keep a promise of lower hydro rates.
