I don't know anything about Argentina, but California I do. Rex I'll say this for you. You are consistant. Wrong, but consistant.

The problem with the California power companies wasn't a lack of regulation, it was half regulation. They relaxed some of the rules aboout production and distribution, but kept the artificial price limits for residential power customers. That's a good way in the short term to get votes, but it's not exactly a good way to do business.
