  I didn’t even know co-op power companies were common, it seems like an odd (but good) service to be provided by a co-op. I wonder if they’re common in the UK.

    They’re mostly in rural parts of the states where private (read: investor owned) utilities determined the region wouldn’t turn a large enough profit to expand there and the state’s public utility commission didn’t mandate their expansion

      Ah I see, well it’s nice the circumstances existed for them to come about. It’s good having goods and services being provided by co-ops, for the workers especially but usually for the customers too.
