Same place the bail outs come from when private companies that are "too big to fail" inevitably do.

You seem to be under the false impression that investment comes from the private sector rather than recognise the parasitic nature of it. It's the end users - customers - funding the minimalistic investment and high dividends.

I am hugely entertained by the implication that the energy market is working. Dare I ask, who for?
