Did you see the natural gas company in New York State that was applying for a rate hike because people had conserved, the way they were told to.

I've seen that more times than I care to count in New England...the utility companies tell you to conserve, then when you do; they jack the rates, because they aren't making enough money. What BS.

"they jack the rates, because they aren't making enough money. What BS."

I just wish I could be in such a business. What a great model. If you sell what you project, you make tons of cash. If you don't sell enough, you jack rates, and make tons of cash. If you sell too much, ooops, supply and demand! You jack rates, and make tons of cash.
I'm not a big fan of regulation, but here is a case where it may be required.

You get the satisfaction of knowing you're helping to "Save the Planet." Isn't that good enough for you, you ungrateful wretch?
