Sigh. Your comment was that 'Deregulation in the utility industry means that supply can be bid competitively' and the report points out that that has approach has not worked for consumers. So, when you ask 'Which part of deregulation has hurt you here?' the answer is 'the whole deregulation part.'

I didn’t say it was helping consumers. Consumers get screwed because they don’t pay attention, and that has zero to do with CMP. That said I don’t see how it is hurting them in the context where you said it.

If you said your car had a flat and I said, “SEE? Competitive supply!” And rubbed my beard, you’d look at me funny.

I’m looking at you funny, because the existence of a deregulated supply market has exactly nothing to do with CMP buying ads, which is the topic you responded to and a bunch of people upvoted.
