But, that would stimulate demand for electric. So, it would be a death spiral.
During the peak of COVID, prices fell to lower than the cost to produce. So, they all greatly reduced production. Given the excess inventory, the prices didn't budge in response to production cuts.
We do agree that producers & traders regularly manipulate supply to assure their bets always win.
But, on a more global scale, their power gets greatly diminished.
