Define effectively?

Effectively the tax payer owned assett was sold out to private corporations
Effectively the corporations now report to private owners not users
Effectively their actions are governed by profits not service
Effectively we have seen massive increases in cost of electricity/power under the hands of private ownership of poles, wires generators and retailers!

Government runs essential services because the private sector may not do it, as there is effectively no profit, too many regulations or other reasons, so called 'affordable electricity/power' (and power security) is becoming an essential service, it appears the communities appetite for it has outstripped supply.
