This is a paradox of sorts; regulation, in particular, seems easy enough to grasp. The real difficulty lies in understanding how power companies have manipulated the regulators.\u003cp\u003e If you think utility deregulation has done away with electric utility monopolies, think again  Deregulation is a myth-it's business as usual for the power companies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For most of America, utility deregulation has yet to become a reality. Even if it does, electric companies will still swindle those they serve. Why? One reason: deregulation allows the utility giants to retain control of the transmission and distribution of electricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Utility cheating has gone unchecked for more than a century. Author Joe Seeber has caught the electric companies red-handed, from fudged financials and courtroom trickery to meter manipulation and outright fraud. He paints a compelling portrait of an industry wired for greed-and argues that it's time someone pulled the plug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Moore, Joe Seeber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 059535744X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595357444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jim Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717154009343,"sku":"9780595357444","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_848fdb6a-002c-472b-aa9f-98390063d342.jpg?v=1705687184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wired-for-greed-jim-moore-9780595357444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
