Benefits of Public Power - See http://www.appanet.org
The following is from the website of the American Public Power Association of which SMUD is a member.

Public power today is an important, contemporary American institution. From small towns to big cities, wherever public power exists, it is an expression of the American ideal of local people working together to meet local needs. It is an expression of the local control that is at the heart of our federalism system
