Free market competitive pricing is the only way to ensure that relatively scarcer resources are protected and allocated in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
Since government-imposed "adjudication" of resources operates by definition without critical pricing information, its allocation will necessarily be wasteful and inefficient. Shortages will be the inevitable result.

Agree. the result of increasing government intervention is increasing shortages.

Agree. But people have to have faith in God to trust in a price mechanism. The country for decades has for decades but especially after 1970—become more godless.
So kill the price of energy and water and give the credit to the God and the pubbies in that order.
