Oil Savings...

Huh... Why can't the same "pay for savings" concept be used with Big Oil, to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and ultimately stabilize oil prices?

Florida Conservation

This concept is not new. In Florida, investor-woned utilities, under the governance of the Florida Public Service Commission, a State regulatory agency, have developed energy conservation programs since the 1970s. These expenses are recovered separate from base rates, which are designed to recover investment costs. The associated conservation programs are designed to provide a kilowatt savings for customers while simultaneously enabling the utility to recover the costs of operating the program on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

I am a retired Public Service Commission auditor.
