Yep, god bless our communist energy policy, while the eastern states were screaming about rocketing energy prices a year back, ours were stable because the electricity company is state owned and contributes profit to the public purse, and as you say a certain portion of gas has to be reserved for the local market.

Coming from the UK I don’t want competition in basic utilities like there is there. I don’t want to have to shop around for the best energy price every year, or to be at the mercy of the free market on pricing for the most basic of necessities like power and water.
