It's deregulated in Texas. Initially lowered the price but I believe its responsible for rising costs now. When it was regulated profits were steady and made large, expensive, efficient projects with long payoffs a sound investment. Now it's harder for companies to make the decision to drop the money for those projects and we end up with initially cheaper but less efficient power plants.

And the hippies need to shut up about "dirty coal".
