      I don’t understand why people think privatization will improve services. Literally the concept of privatization is to enable system to maximize profits. Why is there this fantasy that more profits means better service for you?

    In what world is DFO used for disconnects for solar? That’s like the dumbest, overtly cautious thing to do.
