If you cap prices, you create shortages. This is a lesson that goes back to the time of the Roman Empire.

“They’re f———g taking all the money back from you guys?” complains an Enron employee on the tapes. “All the money you guys stole from those poor grandmothers in California?”

“Yeah, grandma Millie, man”

“Yeah, now she wants her f———g money back for all the power you’ve charged right up, jammed right up her a——— for f———g $250 a megawatt hour.”
