" d4 x# _5 e( n7 u+ N( b; ZWhile 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.

While critics reject claims that competition keeps the price of deregulated energy down, McColl maintains that competition in the utilities industry has been "very healthy." ' G. Q* i8 l2 b0 B' X4 T
麦口称，市场放开后，市场竞争将促使电力价格下降。但是批评者们不买她的账。麦口还是坚持说，能源产业的竞争一直都是“非常良性的”。 |
