[QUOTE="inactive, post: 2093681, member: 7488"] I'll bite Do you believe that all petrochemical should be regulated, or simply fuel petroleum? It's a much broader industry that most public utility companies are engaged in. Regulating prices through approval boards and filings would be much more complicated, particularly when: - There is a not a true monopoly on the supply side - The retail sellers are typically franchisees selling the product - Product providers are not guaranteed contracts in exchange for the vast expense of setting up infrastructure, as seen with public utilities ran to homes and businesses - There is no compulsion for a person to own a vehicle and consume, unlike public utilities used by virtually all the population of the US That's a start...
