Is the demand for power really going up?
It seems like I've read somewhere that demand is down, because of the depression, and conservation.
I think I just read somewhere that some power companies want to
increase their rates, because demand is so low they aren't making enough money.
Just guessing, but once unemployment hits about 40%, demand should get really low..
