  • I like to think of water utilities as a simpler example.

    So you’ve got a water company, it provides everyone in the country all of their water, congrats, 100% market penetration. Production is mostly recycling, with the remainder falling from the sky.

    So what now? Consistently make the same earnings every year, weighted for population changes?

    Nope, graphs gotta go up, prices have to go up.

  • Because it's all owned by private companies, who will charge the going rate to fulfil power needs.

    And since power requirements can't be met without gas, that's the price they'll charge. They know you'll pay it rather than go without power.
