I burst out laughing at this.
There is just nothing like someone actually writing "their (sic) are many factors you fool"
Thanks Top.
sic is used when you are quoting someone exactly, and you want to highlight the fact that you are well aware, that by quoting them, you are using a spelling or grammatical error.

Not cut supply, just regulate profit margin. Public utilities did this for many years and did well.

regulating profit is cutting supply us, that's my whole point with you had you gone to college or read the wall street journal for a couple years you would understand this and not believe in the boogy man.

Hmm it did not cut our electric supply, but deregulating for Enron sure did cut the supply. Many public utilities in this country still have to get approval for rate increases. The oil companies are pretty much a utility.
And everyone in the market knows aour utilities are all broke and making no money

However, they do not have the option to sell it elsewhere.Hmm it did not cut our electric supply, but deregulating for Enron sure did cut the supply. Many public utilities in this country still have to get approval for rate increases. The oil companies are pretty much a utility.

If you were a company that had a choice to sell it to the USA at a miniscule profit because of laws, or to a developing country like China or India at a higher profit margin where would you sell your product?
If it was a zero sum game and the supply would be here regardless I can see your plan working, if it was not it is likely it would simply steepen the shortages that are predicted in the future.
In short, it would put the US as last in line for the needed supply of power it takes to run our nation.

And natural gas comes from where spin ?
Come on now I am sure you know the answer.....
Natural gas is a regulated utility in many places.
How much natural gas comes from foreign sources? Look it up. It is easier to regulate a product that is so directly linked than it is to regulate a product that they don't have to deliver to the US at all if they don't want to and find that they can get a larger profit elsewhere.
This is exactly how it is regulated. They can only sell for so much above wholesale cost. However, if it was a transported commodity, if natural gas was constantly traveling overseas to get to your house, those transporting it would first transport their product to where the profit margins were highest, it would simply limit the amount of product we had.
Prices might be "low" but it would seriously decrease the amount delivered here and we'd likely have shortages. Supply and demand doesn't work when only a portion of the market is regulated in such a way, it just creates shortages for the place of regulation.
