Utility companies are a public service, their rates need to reflect reality, but they keep getting more and more increases that are above the rate of inflation, etc., as far as I know. They do not need to make a crazy profit, they are a public utility service company. People need electricity, gas, etc., and the companies that supply those things need to not be a for-profit company, IMO.
