Have no fear, the consumer will never win...You can expect a rate increease very shortly.
We just got our rate increase last month....thanks to Corslime and his cronies.
The longer this cool spell lasts, the more the rates will go up to compensate for lost income to the electricity suppliers. Then when a warm spell comes back...lets say 3 years from now(its only a guess)...we will really be hurt bad by the costs to run our AC.
