But isn't the whole purpose of capitalism to channel greed into constructive activities? Brigands and pirates are suppoed to turn into productive citizens.

Also, if they are trying to sell natural gas - fired electricity, which costs $50-70/MWh to produce, on the open market, competing with nuclear $10-20 and coal $15-20 per MWh (approximate not exact), they are going to have a harder time selling their power. Green power is Socialism.
