曾经担心天然气价格上涨的阿尔伯塔人，如果看到阿尔伯塔电力产业完全放开经营，一定又被吓个大跳。一个消费者维权倡导人说道。

"You just have this horrendous volatility (in electricity.) And you have it because if the system is not maintained at the perfect balance, the system has big problems."

' \* s, K* r/ h0 y8 nWhile natural gas has doubled in price this year, Wachowich said electricity has - if only momentarily - seen spikes of up to 2000%. He said that happens because electricity can't be stored and is always susceptible to price fluctuations.
我生为吃说道，当今年天然气价格翻番的时候，人们马上就预见到电力价格有可能最高上涨2000%。他还说，这是因为电力无法被储存，所以价格也总是极易浮动。

Liberal energy critic Hugh MacDonald said the province reined in its plan because it knows it won't work.

"We have to unplug deregulation," MacDonald said. "It may work for the producers, but it doesn't work for the consumers.
“我们不得不对放开计划叫停,” 麦当劳说 “这计划对供应商行得通，但是对消费者行不通。“

Alberta Energy spokesman Donna McColl said MacDonald is jumping the gun.
埃尔伯达能源部发言人当娜.麦口称麦当劳为先知先觉。

"I guess Mr. MacDonald's crystal ball is better than mine, because I can't forecast the price of electricity five years down the road, and apparently he seems to think he can."
“我猜麦当劳先生的水晶球比我的好，因为我不能预见未来五年的电力价格走势，但是很显然他认为他能预见。”
