We're doing everything we can to keep our costs as low as we can, but the largest percentage of our cost is the cost of purchasing the power that we deliver to our customers. We could fire everyone and not do anything, but we still can't control the cost of energy that we have to buy to provide our customers.

They want to make as much money as they can. Selling power to the locally-owned utilities is not where they make money, unfortunately.

I personally use it because I think it's a great idea. I think it would be a smart thing for people to be on because you can avoid high winter bills and high summer bills. You can count on your bill being fairly consistent throughout the year.
