      Not quite the same. Their demand has outstripped their capacity, the same as happened in Texas. But since they could import from other regions, the supply was still there. So people won’t be dying from widespread power outages, and some people who chose more risky fee structures will be paying exorbitant prices.

        We’re actually importing as much as the lines from Sweden to Finland are currently able to support.

        Guess what country is on our east side? Yeah.
