You don’t need to apologise! It is sad that people don’t get this simple mechanism. I believe that lots of misery could have been averted if market signals where not distorted when they are needed most. E.g. in your example higher prices for generatora would not only prevent people from buying them for less important things but also open up a location arbitrage opportunity and incentivise to bring generators to the place where they are needed most.
