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 $T$ is greater than ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}1$ TeV. A model possessing this behavior is displayed and the cosmological implications are discussed.
