How about this: power generation and distribution is not as easy as you think, it requires lots and lots of infrastructure and maintenance and that has a cost. If prices go negative too much it might become a problem to keep that running. There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?
Negative prices are short-term self-regulation reactions of the market, they can't stay negative long-term, just because of how the system works. So I'm not sure what you're worried about.
Also, cut the condescending tone, it does nothing but make you look like an asshole.
Condescending is what you get when you make everything into your favorite enemy
