Before discussing Texas’ independent grid fiasco, Dennis Kucinich spoke about his new book, The Division of Light and Power. He talked about it in the context of ethics and monopoly.
Kucinich is no stranger to utility companies that fail to perform in the best interest of the consumer. As the very young mayor of Cleveland, a concerted effort was made to privatize the city’s electrical utility, which he fought.
