The basic "laws of economics" exist and are pretty solid. You can find exceptions or special cases but the basic points apply almost universally. Demand increases when the price goes down and increases when it goes up, etc. You want much lower prices, but you also want much lower usage. That's pretty hard to get. You want to add expenses to the producers, but don't want them to increase prices. That's an unreasonable expectation. Then you decry higher prices but support the people who pushed the policies most responsible for higher prices.
