It is because the free market is wonderful until your campaign contributors aren't able to rake in extra $$. Same swamp, different swamprats.

A U.S. Energy Department plan that would force power companies to buy electricity from coal-fired and nuclear-power plants at higher than market prices is projected cost some $34 billion in its first two years – a bill that will be passed on to consumers. Your light, power and heating costs will climb if the plan goes through.
The Trump administration is the gift that keeps on giving. Merry Christmas - Enjoy being kicked off insurance for pre-existing conditions and spending more to heat/cool your house. In addition, we've increased tariffs on China. You know, the place that makes the majority of our electronics parts, many of our car parts like brake rotors and wheels. Furthermore, we screwed over our farmers so we're giving them a nice fat (welfare) subsidy check. WINNING!!!
