Regulation on a minimal level of weatherization is not an economic incentive.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoThis is basically an "all Internet arguments are over semantics" response. I.e., if you want to participate in the electricity producer market in TX, you need to have X level of weatherization. Call that regulation, fine, but essentially every private, non-governmental-run market has a set of rules that all participants need to adhere to in order to participate in the market, and the penalty for non-compliance is getting kicked out of the market. That's basically what I'm arguing for here.
