The civil liberty to which you refer in this comment is "the right to run a region electric grid provider free from government intervention". Hardly the stuff of Thomas Paine.
Is it really so unreasonable to suppose that politicians and bureaucrats will, when convenient, interpret this vague bill in such a way as to allow them carte blanche to regulate whatever they want?
One way I would improve the bill is to target a list of specific industries. They can amend that list later if gaps are identified. They can even have someone write up reports about which other industries ought to be on the list.
It's boring because it's so very common. It's the boring risks that hurt the most people (e.g. heart disease). It's the boring risks that we ignore, making them the worst risks most of us will ever take.
You're a security guy. You of all people should appreciate this stuff.
