They're making a lot of money.

The rate payers have to pay for everything they buy, basically.

And how do you feel personally about the way our utility system is structured in the United States?

Is there anything that you would change in that respect?

Yeah, I appreciated that.

So the conservation answer is not.

And I feel like I asked him something he wasn't prepared for.

But in this day and age, you can't.

Well, you can't conserve yourself out of a cheaper electric bill.

That's not possible anymore.

And that's why I brought up the delivery fees and that.

you know, when he talks about, you know, utilities.

I mean, when they're charging you 400 bucks just to keep the electricity on, even if you don't use it, what the hell is conservation going to do for you?

It's just not.

And the root of that whole problem is a lot of money flowing into our utility network that...

That kind of money is designed to do one thing, and that's make a lot more money at the hands of American people.

And I don't, you know, we've turned our utilities into like this retail shopping thing where people should have access to electricity that they can afford.

It's just a basic thing.

It's an infrastructure thing.

The grid should be the most secure thing in this United States.
