Oh, I'm not switching, partly because I don't believe them. I'm new in Philly after 15 years in Arizona, and California before that. I have horror stories about energy deregulation that would make your skin crawl. Remember Enron? Yep, victimized by them. And by the outfit that bought most of California's power plants, then took a third of them offline for the summer for "maintenance", driving prices up by limiting supply while simultaneouslydriving their costs down by shutting facilities down. And by the generators being able to charge the transmission companies several times what the transmission companies' cap was, bankrupting the transmitters while simultaneously misdirecting the blame onto them. Deregulation is a scam in and of itself, and I don't trust ANY of them.
