The 75th Congress of the United States (1937-1939) passed the Bonneville Project Act, which was signed into law by democrat President Franklin Roosevelt.
ENRON is a good example of what happens when private corporations have control over our basic human needs and rights such as heating and electrfying our homes. The 1978 PURPA Act, 1992 Energy Policy Act, 1996 FERC order 888 all encouraged "capitalism" or unbridled greed take control of our basic needs and ENRON was happy to oblige. It wasn't until the lights went out in California that ENRON's greed ended it's rein of power over millions of people. The bottom line is "why should greed have control over our lives"? Fat cat billionaires on top squeezing us is simply not the way life should be lived.
My dad was Lake County representative during that time. I remember it well. I have a lot to learn about dams. He was really proud of the work that was done then, and I am not so sure it was well thought out about the consequences. He was also a republican. The old time Republicans. I most certainly am not. He thought we would think independently. That was a good gift.

Taught me to think independently is what I meant to say.
