How about we legalize construction of new power sources and let the market figure it out?

  Trump administration seems to have tried to cancel a bunch of power sources (e.g. offshore wind).

  There was a huge nuclear deregulation bill passed on 2023(?). Hopefully we'll get some reliable power in 10 years out of that.

  > How about we legalize construction of new power sources and let the market figure it out? Who's going to pay for the new plants, that's the issue, nothing else. "The market" can't figure that out and gets it wrong without additional regulation. If all ratepayers pay for new capacity used only by a few corporations, for their new power needs and their own profits, these corporations get to socialize their capital expenditures while privatizing their profits - that's a form of theft, without any exaggeration.
