Buying out the PPA's accounts for a pretty small % of your bill, so that's not why prices have spiked.
Heck I'll give you that not being beholden to the PPA's is the reason coal operators could operate the way the are, hence price spikes. But with PPAs expiring, and most of the plants being economically challenged due to federal carbon taxes, the conditions for them to act that way would have existed on about the same timelines we are seeing, hence the same result.
And "was moving towards a capacity market" is by your own admission a red herring.
So what was your point, because the 3 things you cited don't hold up.

I missed most of this, did you edit this a couple times?
I'm now lost in the argument and don't know how I should reconcile/respond.
Just don't want you to think that this commentary was ignored.
