Mainly that there are players that are big enough, with enough concentrated power to care about politics and influence it. When such large industries lament that prices are falling because there's not enough fear, the logical question to ask is "What are they thinking of doing in response?" I don't think there's a constituency of ordinary people that's willing to go to war over cap-and-trade by itself (they will defend right wing politicians though), but what interests would be willing to push their puppets to take such drastic action? The energy companies of course.
