David Hughes, Director of Citizen Power, gave a lively, fact-filled
presentation at the Green Party meeting in September on Electrical Generation: Regulation & Deregulation.

David provided a historical record of how Pennsylvania moved from state regulation of this industry to the de-regulated scheme today.

There have been moves nationwide by consumer and environmental organizations to re-regulate the industry for reliability purposes and for renewable energy goals and mandates, particularly in Ohio and California.

Among the many questions and topics discussed: consumer interests and concerns in regulated and de-regulated environments, solar and wind electrical generation, the politics of the issues.

A critical aspect to the growth of non-polluting renewable power
generation, is the need for major public investment and
subsidies to homeowners for the purchase and installation of
renewable energy, particularly solar and wind technologies.
