I won't say that Enron was greedy, Enron was just flat out criminal.
In the Los Angeles area of California the DWP which is municipally- held utility is being investigated for over charging their customers during the California electricity problem.
A corporation that provides crappy service usually does not stay in business. The customer may get burned by them once, but they learn and take their business elsewhere.
Money in our society is a necessity. It can buy just about everything with the exception of poverty.

Wait... So you're saying it's not Enron's fault for being greedy criminals, but the *government's* fault for *letting* them?
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find ANY instance of the private sector delivering better electrical service at a better price than ANY municipally-held utility. Across the board.
Sorry, but corporate control = crappy service & higher prices. It's about money, m'friend, not delivering what's needed.
