There is virtually no limit to what the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA can do, without congressional oversight or approval. The pursuit of alternative energy should not come at the expense of our current prosperity or freedom. Instead, Americans deserve a common sense energy policy that promotes competition and lowers prices.

(WASHINGTON) – Today, Wayne Brough, Ph.D., Chief Economist at Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) Foundation, and Michael T. Maloney, Ph.D., Professor of Economics at Clemson University, released a new study on electricity deregulation.
In May 1996, Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation released a study entitled, Customer Choice, Consumer Value: An Analysis of Retail Competition in America's Electric Industry. The study was conducted by Professors Michael Maloney and Robert McCormick with Raymond Sauer, all of whom are from Clemson University. Their findings suggest that opening the market for electricity will save consumers billions of dollars while providing a substantial stimulus for the economy as a whole.
