Should utility companies be allowed to continually increase prices for their services?
when year on year they boast massive profits and extortionate management bonuses. Just take UK for example the prime excuse for Gas and Electric prices increases is "we bought the wholesale gas when the prices on the market was high" I have personally had that excuse from my gas and electric company for the last 3 years, what does that say about procurement and overall management of that company?
