always loved the Sumner Tunnel, especially screaming down the tunnel out of
Logan late at night in a rental car.

Are there of this arrangement? Is this system of public ownership and

I think if a utility is publicly owned, it should have to suffer the same fate
that any publicly held company does when they make bad choices. Some might
argue that this would put the public at risk, as we can’t have utility
companies failing. My response to that is that if they were

That doesn't sound political.
Tell us more about your "problem" and what is a better system. Your

state-owned utility Santee-Cooper decided to abandon a nuke power plant
