Stupid question on gas prices

@beat90tsi

Because we generaly only have 1 option for utilities, because the government does not allow 5 or 6 energy producers to provide for the same city/township/etc. Since the government creates a monopoly, they regulate the pricing.

We can buy gas from whichever station we choose, meanwhile their supplies aren’t much different, but whatever. It is slightly different with utilities.

I agree though, capping profits is stupid and unamerican. Let them run wild, while we’ll feel some pain for a while, it WILL fix the problem, it always does.

Really???

I dont know where you live, but where I live I have a coice of whom I buy my electric from. Yes it is still transmitted by Allegheny power, no choice there, but I do have a choice from where it is produced, and from whom.
