Note: I tried posting the same thing in 'Musings' but it's waiting for approval for some reason. So I'm trying here.
Most of you probably know that the polar vortex and subsequent frigid temperatures have caused power outages on the Texas power grid. This has left millions without electricity when they need it most, to fight off the extreme cold. I want to know what you guys think about access to electrical power.
If we work under the concept of the free market, when providers fail to meet demand, that's just how it is. People may just have to go without, and that's their own personal problem.
But given how essential electrical power is, do people have a right to access it? Providing an individual can pay the asking price, should access be assured?
What do you think?
