John Oliver discusses the incredible amount of power we give electric utility companies, how weakly regulated they are, and why they get such bad Yelp reviews.

ReplyJust what we need right now
If the governments won’t hold companies and power, then maybe we the people should, even if we have to break some laws and necks. You might say that’s terrorism, but if the government’s failure results in terrorism, then it’s it not the government’s fault the terrorism happens?
ReplyGo to Horny Jail, John…
ReplyI was in San Diego when electricity bills tripled for no reason whatsoever, crippling and closing local businesses and forcing residents to live by candle light. Major supermarket chains turned off half the overhead lights and raised the temperature of the AC to shave their costs. Meanwhile, PG&E turbines were pulled offline to keep the utility profitable. Criminal.
ReplyMuch like the gas companies like ExxonMobil, BP, & Chevron Electrical companies have monopolies in your town, & will illegally raise the price of your Electricity since they’re literally you’re only option for power.
ReplyAnd here I thought that the United States are a first world country… John proves that wrong once again.
ReplyGenerating your own electricity for personal use should be a fucking RIGHT.
ReplyAmerica is insane.
ReplyRIP
ReplyThis segment could have used an international perspective. You’d find endless examples of fully government run electricity utilities that are horrifically managed and corrupt. Performance based regulations seems like a pretty good idea
ReplyFriends of my family lost everything and were severely maimed in the San Bruno pipeline explosion. My mother lost her home, every shred of my childhood, and almost her life in the Camp Fire. Fuck PG&E all the way to the gates of Hell and right the fuck in. If the company were a human being, it would deserted the fucking death penalty. I want to see that company rot into dust.

ReplyBy this point, California being called the “Sunshine State” could be an insult considering how often we’re on fire.
ReplyLast year I was stuck without electricity during the great Texas snowstorm for 2 weeks. I was still somehow charged over 200$ for the month eventhough my average is 150$
