Por ello, los monopolios no suelen estar permitidos en la mayoría de los sectores y mercados de la economía estadounidense. Los perjuicios de los monopolios incluyen la codicia desenfrenada, la ineficacia y el despilfarro, el aumento incontrolado de los precios y el abuso de poder. Cuando un monopolio controla un recurso vital, como la energía, se convierte en injustamente poderoso. Esta combinación de poder y monopolio puede dar lugar a situ...

Hector Vladimir Studios06 Monopoly electric serviceMost electric utility companies are set up as monopolies, privately-owned, for-profit corporations. All these are, I believe, harmful for customers of the electric companies. Monopolies are known harmful entities due to runaway greed, power, and inefficiency. For profit corporations are known not to be optimal for basic and needed services, especially for the majority, the poor and low-income classes. And, the electric company is incentivized to be inefficient.

The electric company is abusive in many ways, first and most notably is the high percentage of one's income that it charges from the poor and working classes. It imposes ridiculous fees and taxes with its already high rates, and it charges, rich and poor, the same rates for energy. These abuses cause that those of low-to-medium incomes; pay majority of the power company's profits and service.
