Here is a copy of the economists letter the Independent Institute released on
health care.  It is about 330 words long.

Here is my first draft of a letter to economists for power price caps.  It is
275 words long, so we have some room.



The tricky thing here is the interplay between retail and wholesale price
regulation that is not present in other price control situations.  In other
words, the public utility nature of retail prices complicates things a bit,
so our letter will have to be careful about not losing support from
economists who wonder if this is really about a natural monopoly
situation--at retail at least.

Maybe instead of price decontrol at retail we can just call for a move toward
real-time pricing.

Comments appreciated.
