Aren't there also a lot of scammish little pyramid schemes involving energy providers?

Nothing of value is free and we should pay for what it's worth. There are many on the left in this country who think our gas prices should be $9 a gallon like they are in the UK as that forces conservatism. We waste a lot of energy in this country. Food as well. Heck, throw water in there. Perhaps if these resources were more expensive we might think twice about this wasteful American lifestyle most of us lead. Just a thought.
Ah, your true agenda is revealed - jack up energy costs to encourage conservationism.

BTW, not sure what you mean by "utility company" but there are only a handful of power generators. The 100's you see are just front office billing companies.
