I can't help feeling it is more insidious than this though.
I can't beleive that in an industry with such potential political clout, as well as money, that a well-timed leak to force the smaller, [arguably better deal], energy companies out of the market and bring in increased barriers to entry, was an accident.Fuck. I've become a conspiracist haven't I.

Nah, it's just business as usual, and corporations are subject to nature just as the beasts of the field; small young ones are more vulnerable to temporary adverse conditions, but the survivors then outlive old ones weakened by age. Politicians deliberately slow the process because they can extract greater rents from incumbents in the form of bribes and sinecures, but their power is barely greater than that of the legendary Cnut from whom they take their name.

Whenever you find yourself thinking thus kind of thing, remember
- Hanlon's Razor
- Common interest is more powerful than any conspiracy
- For fuck's sake, we have enough conspiracy theories already and there are better things to do with your life than dig your own rabbit holes

I'm firmly at the point where if a government representative tells me something isn't going to happen I now plan for it. The incompetence is extreme.
