X amount of power takes Y amount of money to produce. You can either pay it to a state-sponsored monopoly, or you can pay it to a private company competing freely, or you can force artificially low prices through pseudo-private companies operating under cap that generates Y minus N amount of income, and watch X minus N amount of power be generated. No amount of legislation will make Y minus N amount of money produce X amount of power. No company that is truly competing will charge Y minus N, because they make more money if they charge Y.
Are we gonna be graded on this later? They didn't cover this in Engineering Economy last semester.
