At the very least, barring any kind of corporate competition, anyone with property that they own can produce their own electricity if they have access to some of the methods of doing so. This would create a natural competing price of electricity that would keep electric companies from just setting an arbitrary price like oil and gas companies do for fuel. Unless you think they'll buy all of the solar / wind / geothermal type electric production means or make them illegal and the public will just go along with that.

There is so much naivete in this post I don't know where to start.
I'm sure all those people living in the high rise apartments the .gov would love us in are going to be generating a lot of geothermal power on their property to power their EVs. About as much drilling for oil and refining into gasoline that they do in their kitchen. Jesus man.
And I think we have some very good, recent even, examples of just what the public will go along with with essentially zero resistance.
