The Texas model will enable renewable energy innovators , such as Plug Power, HyperCar - and thousands of others to thrive. Let's free the electricity slaves in America and get the same benefits that we did with computers and telephones. Other great innovators include Green Mountain Energy Company which is America's leading green energy company as well as its strategic partners NUON and BP solar. And NUON, Holland's largest utility, just announced it would invest in the world's largest solar roof to begin operation in 2002. This coming from a company that is now supplying over 100,000 customers with green energy in Europe and plans to double its investment in solar energy this year.
Governments do have a hugely important role.
They must set standards and they must maintain a system of laws that remove the uncertainties. Let's finish the job by honest electricity deregulation in America. Let's don't follow the California model. Let's follow the Texas model, which Adam Smith would have loved and which will produce results like those of the deregulated computer and Telecommunications industries.
