Here in beautiful Sydney, those rogue electricity companies now seem to be rewarding responisble people who use less electricity then before.
In the past big greedy users of electricity like multi-storey buildings and blocks of flats who left their lights illuminated all night, got a lower rate per KiloWatt hour if they used more electricity but now the reverse seems to be the case and some big wasteful power users are complaining that their electricity bills have gone up 100%. This has lead to a sudden panic demand for energy saving lights and appliances in big commercial buildings and enterprises.
I wonder if this trend is happening anywhere else?
I think the government finds it cheaper to hit consumers in the pockets where it hurts with higher electricty prices to reduce energy consumption rather than build more greenhouse gas emitting power stations.
Maybe this will lead to more solar energy around the place.
What do you think?

One of my sons had the beginnings of Tourette Syndrome when he was little - eye blinking, facial twitching, eye tics, etc. Our regular doctor didn't have any advice for us, so I researched my son's condition using the book library at the local health food store. The indications were that he was low in magnesium, so we changed his diet to get more magnesium rich foods and give him magnesium

In another indication of the momentum building behind alternative energy development, T. Boone Pickens, a man who made his billions in the oil biz, recently voiced his support for alternative energy.
...Pickens, who heads the $4 billion BP Capital Management hedge fund, also voiced some support for alternative energy development, saying a half-trillion dollars a year is leaving the United States economy to buy oil.
Pickens said solar power technology is "almost there," and there could be "corridors" of wind power developed from Texas through the Great Plains and west to California.
...Economist Glen Langan told BloggingStocks Thursday, Boone Pickens's support for alternative energy sources will help build the case for energy diversification in the United States.
"T. Boone Pickens's support is important in that oil industry players, not just non-oil energy companies, will begin or expand alternative energy source research and development," Langan said. "Granted, leadership support doesn't carry as much weight when oil is at $30 or $40 per barrel, but it does now, given what we know $100 oil can do the U.S. economy and U.S. wealth."
