It's moronic to argue that capping the price of wholesale electricity prices would ease supply. I read somewhere that gal was smart, but either she's stupid or she thinks everyone else is. Maybe both.

I know a cap that would actually ease supply in California - a cap on consumption. The social planners can have a ball deciding how much everyone gets, and then if you exceed your ration - well, I guess they can't shut you off, but how about make you pay $10kWh for everything over your ration? $20kWh? $200kWh? Doesn't matter, let them figure it out.

Set it high enough and it would work. People all over California would actually start conserving electricity. What a concept!
