Single-page energy bill comparison
A government-run, no-commission energy comparison tool (like Energy Made Easy but simpler). Answer 3 questions, get the cheapest plan. Not 47 plans with asterisks.

Require energy and water retailers to offer monthly even-payment plans as the default (opt-out), not hidden in settings. Prevents bill shock.
