>So once you've reduced it to a minimum, you might still be screwed depending on where you live. And if you are poor enough to be screwed, you are poor enough to not be able to relocate. The "choice" argument you have used in other threads falls flat.,

So the alternative is to let the Gov. set the prices and ration the gas like they did in WWI.Oh No my bad.People would just sell the ration coupons.I guess I just better let you handle it Commisar.

Either you believe in the free enterprise system or you don't.Which is it?

Go back and reread what I posted. I have never advocated price controls. I do support anti-trust laws, though. And if it can be proven that the industry acted together to limit supply or to set the price artificially, I think they should be taken to task.

But I don't want price caps or fake gouging investigations. Price caps never worked and never will work. Competition works. I just want people to understand that buying energy is not a choice, it is a necessity. And collusion is and should be illegal.
