In other words, the more the utility spends, the higher the rate will be approved by the state regulator. Truly a rip off. I remember when I worked for MI statement government (1975) this was essentially how many grants were funded.

As a flatlander (whatever that means but I’ve a sneaky idea) I live among the pines, junipers, and cypress tress and except for maybe the first three days in August have not had the need to run my AC. That to my recollection is the first August since 1977, when we moved to Sedona, that the month of August hasn’t been the biggest hog of electricity. Did global warming take a vacation?
