Utilities don't make billions... They are literally some of the worst investments ever. I hate how it's assumed that because it's a corporation, they make billions.... Pge shareholders lost everything.... Companies do poorly ALL THE TIME. if it was so broken, that companies were that profitable, you could buy any stock and be rich. Yet, picking the right stock is almost IMPOSSIBLE. because companies always are dying.

@drumsynth59 America has the cheapest energy in the world.... The countries with state run power all have more expensive energy. You don't know what you're talking about. When you actually trade this stuff you can't lie. You actually have to know the facts. Yes, some countries will subsidize the power, but if doesn't change the fact it's costing more overall and SOMEONE is paying for it.

 @drumsynth59 OK, if money shouldn't be the number one priority, you'd be happy not receiving any pay raises. After all, what you're doing for society is more important.

Eh, it's more that the largest pools of capital are California and EU pensions. And they REALLY CARE about responsible investing or whatever. So all the companies like to use this flowery speech now because they don't want to piss off the EU or California, and have their investments pulled. I mean, Raytheon just said they wanted to find an "equitable solution" to a recent scandal. Lolololol. It's just the new business meta. I'm watching the investor presentations, which are 3-6 hours long, and it's a ton of this "we have to help our poorest customers find equitable solutions to" blah blah blah. You say it this way that way everything you say is put in the context of helping someone even if you were building bombs to kill them.

@matthewbergeron3641 our power is the cheapest.... More than half that if the EU. So.... You can cry about corporations delivering the service, but it ends up being vastly cheaper than the EU. You might personally pay less, but someone foots that bill. And it's gonna get worse for the EU in the future. I can't think of a single investor that's going to invest in the EU for energy ever again, after the windfall tax. You'll need to build out more expensive renewable grid. Your government approach doesn't save you though. A business still is profiting. Even when the government does Healthcare, some business will profit lol. In fact, my whole recent strategy is following the US government. If you invest the whatever the US government is trying to supposedly fix you make millions. Like electric cars. You knew the government wanted them. Why did you miss out on Tesla? You could 10x your money. Each time the government touches a sector, you'll find a 10x opportunity. Last one was Healthcare.

You aren't using the energy from the grid, but you are still connected to it, and that connection is a cost. Are you serious? If you don't want to pay, then disconnect completely. Otherwise, you're not paying currently but anytime you can go and get the power from the grid and that cost money...
