> People buying electricity at wholesale prices is on them.

This feels too much like victim blaming for me to agree with. In general, people are lead to believe "wholesale" just means something like "cheaper in bulk" à la Costco. I am sympathetic to anyone who was ignorant of the fact that it meant their personal rates could be much much higher too.

You're not a victim if:

1. You're directly in this position due to choices you made.

2. The "perpetrator" is mother nature.
