<Instead, the governor proposed last week that the state step deeper into the market-and make a bigger mess. He blamed the problem on market manipulation and price-gouging, which he proposed to investigate and punish with criminal sanctions. Charges of price-gouging are an infallible sign that the person making the accusation is an economic idiot. Prices are supposed to go up when supplies are scarce, whether the market is for electricity or for taxicab service in a rainstorm. Using the power of the state to hold down electric rates is little better than theft, and will only prolong the problem.> LOL, glad someone finally printed that. DAK
