We could set the house up for propane, but propane is a lot more expensive than natural gas, and we'd lose a big part of our backyard for the tank.

I think we should be able to pick our power company the same way we pick our long distance carrier. This way, the power companies would have to remain competitive. Right now they have a monopoly within each neighborhood.

I guarantee, customer service would improve, and there would be no outages, and the price would certainly drop unless their was some sort of collusion between the power companies.
