What I said, is that the Energy sector changes gas prices to suit their political interests by keeping incumbents in office rather than having to buy new ones or risk a rare independent voice getting elected. That remains... true.

Price is dictated by 'whatever they say supply is' and 'whatever they claim demand is' with a lapdog Congress overseeing it.
