I was in Europe months ago and my host chastised me for leaving a light on for too long. The energy crisis is already a huge issue across the Atlantic. We were insulated from it for a bit but without more independent renewable generation our supply chain is still vulnerable to global events.

Regulators should do what they can to make this easier on people including energy aid payments for low income people, investment in renewables, and a mandate that the prices go back down if/when the market stabilizes. Until we have a public utility, putting all the blame on the company responsible for transmission doesn't affect the price of the product they buy and sell.
