One must wonder what it is about American politics that attracts such morons to public office. Clearly, nobody ever told these morons that they cannot re-write the laws of physics (particularly thermodynamics) or the laws of economics.
And every day the voting populace seems to get dumber.
The situation is completely out of hand in the alternative universe where wind and sun are free, we are told, but they ain't there then they are most needed at night during major storms.
This rate freeze in retail and no rate freeze in wholesale is what bankrupted PG&E the first time and ran California into debt that ratepayers are still paying off. Buy high sell low, is pretty short term.
Every state with renewables depends on imports to manage their grid. Overbuild of solar and wind causes a glut which is given or sold cheap to neighbors. That effectively makes their reliable generation uneconomic and sooner or later power to export dries up.

The dumbing of the populace is intentional.
Absolutely intentional. Just look what the US Teachers' unions have done.
Would you run for office, Mike? I wouldn’t. You need to be a moron to even consider it.
Identical situation to mandating renewables to "solve" climate change by relying on the same weather causing that disaster?
irony of ironies

Anyone who knows even a little of economic history knows price controls always make things worse.
