There are a great amount of powers that do not want cheap electricity for the world. "Giving society cheap, abundant energy at this point would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun." - Paul Ehrlich. Or Amory Lovins, who was advisor to many U.S. presidents who said "If you ask me, it'd be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it." I completely disagree with the above sentiment, but you can be sure that energy companies will always try to limit supply so that demand can be set at the right price for them to make the profit they want. We're seeing it right now with natural gas cornering the american market. NG's prices are notoriously volatile because it's easy for the companies delivering it to change the supply until demand is where they want it.
