Comment It's called pricecaps... (Score 1) 497
The reason they're having blackouts is no
mystery. It's Econ 101 guys:
Demand high, supply low. What does that mean
for the fair market price? High. What does
the government do? Put price caps ridiculously
low. What happens? Everything has to shut down,
the only expected solution that can happen.
Take out the stops and everything will be fine again.
The only other partial reason for it is the strict polution limits set. They can't operate without exceeding their quotas so they are shutting down for that reason as well. This is more of a tough problem than the pricecaps, because they can't just open it up to "pollute all you want, guys" but they can't just keep everyone in the dark either.
