People are using less energy...electricity. That is what the article says. So they say the cost of electricity will drop. Truly? Years ago we had a severe water shortage in California. We were asked to cut back on water usage. I lived in Santee at the time and the water district there found that when they sold less water they took in less money. Yet it costs about the same to keep the district running. There was one way to keep the amount of cash money coming into the district, and that was raise the price of water.
Can the electric companies run on less money? Because if they sell less electricity to the public they will have less money coming in. Where does that mean a drop in the actual cost of electricity? I just don't see how it will be possible.

We have some toll roads here in the Dallas area. The people who manage these tollways say they aren't making enough money to mantain them because not enough people are using them. So they decided to raise the toll. A lot of people have said they will stop using the tollways even if it means a longer commute.
Also one of the suburbs that uses buses is having parking problems so they want to charge the people who do not live in that city to park in the park and ride lot. So if they do that, those people will stop riding the bus, the bus company won't make enough money so in the end they will have to raise bus fare. I agree, what were they thinking?
They never will learn!
