Dont invest in gas companies unless they also produce a substantial amount.... trust me, they waste a ridiculous amount of money on stupid shit..... believe me....
If you want to make serious money in public utility companies, then you will need to find companies utilizing the parts of the part, with less regulations. There are ways to make money off it, but typically they are not the next Google or Microsoft.
You may or may not want to shy away from utilities that tries to ride the government subsidy of 'alternative energy'. Sooner or later, these subsidy goes away and the utilities are left stucked with overpriced boondago.
Natural monopolies are part of a free market economy where demand is at 100% by necessity rather than choice. This is why deregulation causes price increases rather than decreases for some time until utilities are regulated again. These markets behave in an inverse fashion due to forced demand being fixed at 100%.
I wonder what it's like in Minnesota. What are the gun laws like? Hows Healthcare Jobs? What are the women like? Are there property taxes? What is costs of living? What is the crime rate? What is the quality of education?
