Do they really want the government to have the ability to shut off their power at the push of a button? Or even to be able to tell them that they can't set their own thermostat?
I already don't trust the local energy provider in Michigan. After our area went without electricity for 9 days in the middle of last Winter, I spent $13K on a whole house propane generator because I'll be damned if I'm going to sit in the cold and dark for almost two weeks because someone sitting in a warm, lighted home decides if/when I get my power back.
How foolish!

Years from now, when your kids inherit an increasingly inhabitable wasteland of an earth, no doubt they’ll stop and think, “yeah, but for that beautiful moment in time, think of all that wealth created for shareholders.”
