Of course, the prices aren't really low. Someone is subsidizing the government market to keep prices "low".
Nothing to worry about if that someone isn't you. |
Exactly, money will be stolen from someone through taxation - at gunpoint if necessary - so that Wildbore may have the illusion of a cheap service.
Liberals love the system - as long as they don't have to pay for it. |
The cost of administering the wholesale electricity system and ensuring reliability of the grid is included in the electricity bill. People who use it pay for it, there are no extra taxes.
People can choose to buy off electricity retailers, where they wouldn't need to pay for regulation, but usually they don't because they constantly get shafted by high prices. So people usually choose to buy off local utilities, and pay the extra regulation price, simply to avoid the fact that they will be shafted badly with electricity retailers. |
Hilarious. Of course you fail to mention just what effect all the regulation and compliance has on prices. Taxes aren't the only action of government that can increase prices.
The electricity retailers have regulations and taxes to comply with also.
