Helping Legislators Understand and Manage Utility Risks

摘要

Each of us face risks every day. Some are relatively minimal and thus not considered consciously. For example, we drive to work every day expecting that we will safely return home at the end of the day. However, some people do not. Some risks may be minimal, but we address them. Most of us have homeowner's or renter's insurance to protect our interests and fire insurance in the event of a catastrophe. We assess the risk by determining which deductible level is acceptable to us.
