This was an interesting read. I still don't quite understand the pricing during emergencies or shortages, though.

There is no tolerable scenario where providers could choose not to generate electricity for a grid if it were necessary and they were the only provider available.

I want to assume that in the freest of markets the state could still compel electrical generators to operate in the events of an emergency.

I really need to read up on what happened in Texas in 2021.
