While 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。

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns.
如果省政府不能小心对付这个浮动，在省内的各个角落里，电力账单将大大上扬。我生为吃警告说。

In June, Alberta Energy delayed the plan to fully deregulate electricity, instead announcing a new five-year regulated rate option.

The province is scheduled to review the proposal in the fall of 2007.

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."

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."
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”。
