      A whole lot of talking and not saying anything? You want to hear about energy companies sitting on oil until the price goes back up? Or was it the part where he said peoples bills weren't effected that really intrigued you? I found it lame and boring as hell but better than the doom and gloom that is the usual news I guess.

    In Australia our genius leaders sold our electricity infrastructure under the "privatisation will create competition and better prices" dogma. Now another country owns it and we are being held to ransom with prices when energy is falling out of the sky for free. Our system is such a mess, it should be forbidden for a politician to sell off something that took generations to create.

    water, power, gas and many more things that are part of developed countries have been overlooked and almost imagined as public services that anyone should be entitled to but they are in fact products supplied by companies who want to make profit. These companies can virtually eliminate costs overnight which gives them all the power and control on how much to charge you for their product.

    • @bradsanders407

      I guess you missed the part where he said customers bills weren't effected. You people are making it sound like they jacked up everyone's bills lol

    • @jimysk8er

      @@bradsanders407 it's not something that happens suddenly. they are all natural resources so their expenses are machinery and personnel. in north america there are numerous instances of monopolistic and price gouging behavior while not improving quality or service. the execs are raking in growth in profits and or buying back shares or extracting more resources per dollar which further gives confidence in the company so the share values increase so their net worth increases all in a self felating nature while people complain about high prices for goods but are forced to still buy from the same companies because they have worked very hard to eliminate choice and competition. In this world it makes sense to charge people the most you can until you meet resistance and then hold your increases or pull back just enough to appear charitable. You can't be surprised by the behavior of the ultra rich because every person has, does, or would take similar strategies to get what they want for the least amount of input. so in the end, no they didn't jack up the bills but over the last decades they have raise prices 3 or 4 % while their costs have maybe raised 1% and if you plot those out on a graph you would notice a widening gap between the two lines all while wages have barely increased 2% yoy.

    Can you imagine that you have a product and you sold it to the client that paid more for it? Fantastic. Usually like the author of this video you sell your products and labour at the cheapest prices and now this.

    Itally banned nuclear energy and are now using carbon taxes to make coal artificially uneconomic. So of course power is going to be outrageously expensive.

    i looked into the Uk's end of quarter energy report. I found it very weird that plant's suddenly went into stop for reasons absurd as "covid proof environment" for up to 2 whole months.
    when called out in public, they get fined 0.00001% of it.
    They should change fine system with percentages instead of numbers

    Well thats 7ish minutes of my life wasted. A whole lot of talking without saying anything other than "in 2010 they were caught" in a video about how these "market players were making money during the pandemic" and my favorite "it didnt effect anyones bill". Ok so some market players got over on other market players. Who cares been happening as long as there has been a freaking market.

      Electricity prices in the Soviet Union were the equivalent to 93 cents per kilowatt-hour in current, inflation adjusted US dollars, almost double the currently most expensive electricity on earth in Germany and Denmark.
