Here is one area that I think should be price controlled by one State agency. All electricity created should be considered a necessity for life. All power plants should be under control of the States for construction and type of energy to create this power. Everything should be taken out of control of the Federal Government.The sale of power should be allowed to cross State lines which could be subject to competition. This damn Federal control is destroying America.
Looks like I got it wrong. Sorry.
It is allowed.

I believe that you are posting in the wrong forum. Fascists and Progressives are more welcome at DU and DailyKos
The rolling black-outs are a result of a policy of ERCOT which is a governing organization which is subject to oversight by the Texas PUC and the State legislature. IOW, we have a 501(c)(4) made up of energy industry professionals and what you propose is that this organization is disbanned and all electric utilities are under the control of unaccountable government bureaucrats and self-serving politicians. The high price of power is the direct result of the market responding to scarcity. That is the specialty of governments is to cause scarcity and you want to breed more of it?
Do you think that something that is "considered a necessity for life" should ultimately be placed in the hands of Progressives and Liberals who will continue to charge you $3000/MW so that the "disenfranchised" would not suffer the indignity of being in the dark or having to actually pay for the power they use? Government screws up everything they take control over, so you want to take a hiccup and turn it into a deadly cancer?
Our government flat-out tells you that under their policies energy "by necessity will sky-rocket" - and you want to invite this disaster in and control your life? Are you insane?
And if it is "necessary for life" why do you rely 100% on a failed and corrupt government? There are many outfits that will sell and even install this "necessity for life" in your home.
How many times do you have to put your hand on a hot stove to know that it will burn you? Infinite?
