Why Limited Government and Market-Driven Innovation Beat the Old Regulatory Capture Model
The Regulatory Trap Holding Oklahoma Back
Oklahomans are tired of watching their electric bills rise while being told the only remedy is more government-approved spending on the same century-old system. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission continues to entertain rate cases from utilities that pass the costs of aging infrastructure and new demand straight through to captive ratepayers. At the same time, technological progress in solar, batteries, and small modular nuclear reactors offers a fundamentally different path, one that rewards results rather than spending. The contrast is stark, and it reveals why limited government, low taxation, and the removal of regulatory control over daily economic decisions consistently outperform bureaucratic gatekeeping.
