They set up the whole energy delivery mechanism to maximize prices and profits over any other consideration. What you call price gouging, they call success. Today I’m sure they’re reviewing the negative publicity from their failure, giving it a market value, and comparing that to the profits they reap from product scarcity. The smallest positive value they’ll see as a job well done. They’ll pretend to be sorry about the pain rate payers have experienced, while secretly enjoying how well their system worked. Now their only thought is to short circuit any move to change the status quo. Watch they as they roll out the ‘Dems are socialists’ rhetoric.
