It would also mean that a rural customer might not have any company interested in reaching out to them.  Are these good outcomes?

It might also mean cheaper prices or innovation driving a more effective, less intrusive delivery mechanism. But we'll never know since government took over and corrupted the market.

Precisely.  JEA is the very definition of government corruption and bloat.  FPL runs circles around them.  I'd much rather have FPL than JEA.

Look no further than the energy inequality of Texas and California.
Texas is one of the highest producers and exporters of energy.  They get it, and they do it extremely well.
On the other side of the coin is California - who has just as many resources but squander that opportunity.  They are run by nutjobs and have to import power instead of harnessing it themselves.

Lesson in there.
