Sobre este libro

How does an energy company legally generate billions of dollars in profit by deliberately plunging one of the world's largest economies into absolute darkness? The 2001 California Energy Crisis was not a failure of power plants; it was a highly orchestrated, malicious extortion scheme executed by the traders at Enron. Taking advantage of California's newly deregulated and deeply flawed energy market, Enron's trading desks engaged in predatory market manipulation. Using tactics with cynical names like "Death Star" and "Get Shorty," traders intentionally ordered power plants to shut down for "fake maintenance" during peak demand hours. This artificially constrained the electrical supply, forcing the state grid operators into a state of panic. To prevent total grid collapse, California was forced to buy emergency electricity from Enron at astronomical, price-gouged rates, while citizens suffered through months of rolling blackouts, traffic light failures, and economic paralysis. This gripping true-crime financial history dissects the arrogance of the smartest guys in the room. It explores the horrific cost of unregulated essential services, the audio recordings of traders laughing as they extorted the state, and the eventual spectacular bankruptcy that followed. Never trust the invisible hand with the light switch. The Rolling Blackout Hustle is a brutal reminder of what happens when critical infrastructure is handed over to unbridled corporate greed.
