How is that policy choice?

Are be subsidizing the natural gas suppliers or adding fees to natty generation plants?

Retail prices of both electricity and mineral gas are highly regulated. They aren't market outcomes in any sense.

I live in Texas. At least for electricity it’s a fairly free market of prices. I would be surprised to learn natty gas is being heavily subsidized here too.
