Abstract
It is suggested that the magnetic monopoles predicted by grand unified theories would not be produced in significant numbers if electromagnetic gauge invariance is spontaneously broken when the temperature is greater than TeV. A model possessing this behavior is displayed and the cosmological implications are discussed.
