question 2 of 10
what happened as a result of the formation of the commission of gas and
electricity in the state of new york?

a. power companies increased rates.

b. other state governments passed similar laws.

c. state governments provided free power to cities.

d. power companies had the action overturned in court.

Explanation:

The formation of the New York Commission of Gas and Electricity was a pioneering regulatory effort. Such regulatory models often inspire other states to adopt similar measures. Option A is incorrect as the commission was to regulate, not allow rate increases. Option C is unrealistic as providing free power is not a typical result. Option D is incorrect as there's no indication of court overturning. So the most logical result is other states passing similar laws.

Answer:

B. Other state governments passed similar laws.
