Do you suppose there would be monopolies in other industries if the law made them that way?
Well sure, if you create a law that says only the government can make bread. But why? We're not talking about bread, we're talking about energy and water, which come from specific power plants and resevoirs. You don't have a choice in that. You don't have a choice which train you get to Brimingham, or which motorway to use for London.

Do you have other ideas for how we could make things cheaper?
Yeah. Free energy.
