Energy deregulation, a spreading crisis of
neo-liberalism:
In
1996 deregulation was hailed
as the wonder cure for California's energy system.
Democrat
and Republican competed in their enthusiasm for it.
Power was to be plentiful and cheap. And
the result? Energy prices soaring out of sight, blackouts, and chaos.
Government-regulated
monopoly has been replaced by unregulated private monopoly.
Similar results can be seen in
other states and countries. But it's
profitable, and the bourgeoisie and its parties are determined to
stay with it. Meanwhile the government
agencies are in the pocket of the energy billionaires,
while municipally-owned power systems are increasingly run in the same
predatory spirit. The
struggle against deregulation includes exposing the neo-liberal spirit
of the government-run or
regulated systems as well as the profiteering of the private companies.
