The world has been in a violent argument with the Texas Energy Sector for at least 5 decades in large part over its values. The sector values the power of the strong to tell the weak what to do or even more important from its perspective the weak never telling the strong what to do- their actual core value. But they are confused about what strength is. They don't get that controlling another is enslaving yourself and not understanding this makes them weak and makes them victims who run on fear. You can see this in the rest of their value set. Although they have Southern hospitality they fear the brown wave and fear the power of the p*ssy and they really fear decentralized energy because it cuts the yoke they've placed on strangers. Despite cosmopolitan partnerships they have lots of stranger fear.
Under the current system they rail against big government because they don't want you to know they are completely dependent on it for extracting tribute from you and completely dependent on it in general. They go on about free markets because they don't want you to know that there is no such thing and never has been as big business is only big government which they are dependent on completely but use against you to get you to pay tribute and steal your time, when their real claim to actual power (as in the vote and citizenship) isn't any greater than yours. They don't want decentralized energy because it frees people from enclosure (think penning animals,) cuts the rent seeking yoke and destroys the power of wage slavery and artificial scarcity and keeps people from becoming defacto property.
Lets give the specifics of how the Texas Energy Sector misappropriates government authority to levy a huge private tax on the population that undermines quality of life and standard of living in a cumulative way. Most of us who live in urban settings will find we are charged monthly (essentially an inappropriate tax) by a local private monopoly utility that is of all things for-profit (and insists that profit is mandatory and indemnified by government against any loss despite having no allowed competition) to provide energy to your homes or apartments. If you shut that service off you will be evicted or have your property red tagged. So if you refuse to pay them their tribute they can put you in the street. Further that firm will buy natural gas or some other form of petrol, a completely unnecessary product that works against the interests of the involuntary yoked customer by raising the cost of food and water and causing unnecessary wars which the involuntary yoked customer must also pay for and causing disease which directly or indirectly the involuntary yoked customer must pay for- all of this amounts to increasing claims on the person's time. And given the arbitrary nature of the product they come up with constant Enron style excuses to raise prices at will. In essence its a protection racket you work to pay them or work for them or you get evicted or can't retire (see below.) Essentially you work for them against your will in a way that reinforces enclosure, wage slavery, yoking and rent seeking parasitism for a class of non-contributing wealthy self-appointed elite over-lords.
If your car for instance gets energy straight from the sun without even having to put panels on your home or install batteries that is bad for their ill-gotten power. So they naturally hate SAEVs, lots of propaganda saying they are impossible. Almost as much they don't want solar plus batteries plus BEVs because that cuts at least three of their cords with gasoline, natural gas electric and natural gas cooking/heating/driers. Most of us are giving these people $500 a month of our time in a way that undermines our freedoms in every aspect of our life. Given what most people make in the US most people are working for the Sector about 1 week a month.
The scam they want to run involves sponsored media telling lies (all it exists to do,) to misinform the public about their interests e.g., "climate change is a hoax." Trying to make sure that they can still charge ill gotten gain rent protection money as they tried in Nevada when people had choice and options to cut the cord on their scam. Which by the way they never would have had if the US didn't come to the brink of civil unrest in 08 over the petrol scam. Also trying to claim that they should be able to pass the cost on to other rate payers who don't yet have the means/choice to cut their cord, akin to all the market will bear BS or gouging when the sector needs to be made to disgorge past ill-gotten gains based on decades of government fraud- hearing municipalities may be having trouble making payroll which is spooky. Also trying to make sure ridiculous (horrid economics and impacts) natural gas powers electric charging stations. Trying to insist that electrics not be charged prices at stations or at home that would challenge the horrid absolutely horrid ultra high cost parity floor for petrol- when the alternatives are already 1/4 the cost and will drop to something like 1/17000 the cost. And the greatest scam off them all hydrogen or the scam of the long tail pipe centralized emissions where they claim hydrogen is clean when much more likely it would be a bunch of tar sand, more tar sand than would otherwise be used ever (a tar sand enabler) simply centralizing emissions but also creating even less efficiency creating even longer wage slaving tread milling zombifying hours and decrements to quality of life standard of living undermining conditions even further we already have in a world where women essentially work for free relative to their parents so much so they have to pay other people to raise their latch keyed kids.
By 1950 it was clear the scarcity problem was solved despite the horrid massively regressive economics of petrol. Solution for defunct capital was find a massive source of incrementally increasing artificial scarcity and create a phony babysitting economy for as long as people could be made to be in denial about it. They did this through eliminating the fairness doctrine in media (to be fair it was a weak reflection of the court's actual free speech doctrine that said commercial speech was last in line- it wasn't enforced and an editorial firewall on sponsorship /bribery is no protection at all) and turning law into a matter of bribery or money as law with the sponsor media filter- the point of sponsored media is not selling product or demand creation it is about censorship and spin and capture of candidates. Also through delinking wages from inflation and through coopting labor with agency shops (bribery again) and by claiming that money is speech. Note their BS recently when cities and counties and states sued the Texas Energy Sector saying that Exxon had constitutional rights- its basically the rich saying their money has rights or their abuse of the money power has rights only an absolute and total fool would ever believe that- that's pure criminality an absolute dilution of any meaningful rights or rights capture through bribery followed up for protections for bribery.
