Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The author makes two points: (1) the deterioration of the financial condition of America's investor-owned electric utilities has often been overstated, or signs of the utilities' revival have not been sufficiently noted; and (2) regulation as an institution is not the primary contributing cause to such deterioration as has occurred. The article essays to document these affirmations. 37 references, 9 figures.
