Conservative radio talk show host Lars Larson (Portland) has introduction sound bites that say “maybe you are just really really stupid”
In my opinion, Lars is really good.
Sigh. ....
Retail customers don’t pay spot prices. The spot price may have lasted only for a minute. Much less time than needed to charge a car.
