What they are talking about is placing an exorbitant sir charge on use during the peak usage times. They will establish the price per(?) The PSC shot this scheme down here in Maryland. But I doubt if it will star dead for long.

Yes, CPS (our power company) has all kinds of UN and EU babble cited, they seem to want to follow the UN/EU 20/20/20 by 2020 crud.

In the third world the electricity goes off in large areas for parts of the day most days, sometimes at regular times, sometimes randomly. We are modern in America and, in order to celebrate perversity diversity we are going to ration electricity and probably shut it off to individual users at random times.
