The reason the price goes negative is that there's too much electricity being produced and not enough being used. The grid isn't a magical electricity sink. Things will break if the frequency raises too much due to overvoltage. I hate money and capitalism as much as the next guy here, but this dynamic is based on material realities, not market scheming.
