| I created this Utilities Page in 2015 and switching it to a blog post in 2019. The thought pattern is roughly the same; however, the CRA Structure has been more refined. The primary issue is that politicians have too much control over these very complex corporations. Many people point to the monopoly issue and suggest that it is essential to have government control. |  |
 | Those people do not understand or unappreciated the severe downside of politicians controlling a large corporation. This oversight has resulted in political decisions being made rather than business decisions. Two prime examples are that both electrical power and water companies advertise how to use less of their product. Many utilities are significant campaign contributors creating vast conflicts of interests. |
| The CRA Structure has many checks and balances to address the issue of a natural monopoly. The Rating System is a large check. The Rating Floor requires a corporation with a natural monopoly to meet a standard. Many natural monopolies will be required to be publicly traded companies so the users of the services of water, electricity, stormwater, sewage, roads, and others can own these corporations. Ownership rights come with the ability to vote on the CEO and the Board of Directors. The Haley2024 reform of Corporate Proxy Groups will significantly improve stock ownership rights. Corporations would be regulated by a CRA in Sector 25: Personal and Business. |  |
