Albertans worried about the looming spike in natural gas prices could be in for another shock when electricity in Alberta is fully deregulated, says a consumer advocate.
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。

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。

"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。“
