    Prague Newspaper Quote Hits the Nail on the Head Extraordinarily accurate analysis from a foreign country. God help the USA. Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out.

  • Utilities and Public Schools: Parallel Monopolies with Parallel Results

    Sep 8, 2021

The main calling of the PSC is the necessary regulation of natural monopolies, electricity and natural gas utilities being the largest and most critically important of these.
