Have you heard how companies makes money on the US grid?

Oh boy.

They are incentivized to BULID but not to maintain or upgrade because that grants them guarantee rate of return.

It is funny to me how fractally perverse systems gets when a centralised authority refuses to directly solve a problem but rather decide have it solved by third party uncooperative players by creating an endless stream of byzantine rules to force the solution to be a twisted copy of what the centralised authority could have done by itself.

Of course there are failure modes in any approach but "oh no! Herding cats is hard. Who could have imagined!" is funny to me
