I agree. In fact, I think the government should own all utilities like they do in more socialist countries. It gets rid of price gouging, and the stabilizes the market in things that are necessary for human life.

The natural resources of the country should belong to all of us. Not just a select few.

Utilities are already strictly regulated by cities including prices. There is no price gouging when it comes to utilities.

I visited a South American country where the water utility was recently sold to a private corporation. The home I briefly visited had a large water barrel inside because the water now shut off for many hours of the day, including the hours I was visiting.
