you still dont get it on the Calif Energy Fiasco
sure, there were ample energy supplies in Calif
but you screwed the rules for middleman delivery
consequently, many honest participants exited
leaving you at the mercy of criminal gamers
they withheld and played with you, exposing you as fools

I dont believe many liberal types are competent enough to understand the economics of supply & demand, rulemaking that attempts to override economic law, and grand incentives to encourage the inefficient

I dont have much more to say on this subject
you dont seem to get it
when the next energy fiasco hits soon, you might get it finally
maybe not

perhaps Calif can fix price, then with political power, coerce all states west of the Mzippi River to supply you power at a fixed price you dictate ???
