They're getting them because of the legislated or regulatory imposed reduction in their costs, and those dollars count just as much to them as dollars that would come from a whole bunch of suppliers knocking on their doors. These are significant changes in the energy industry, and they're creating a lot of potential winners. Large and small customers win because their cost of doing business goes down. Customers win again because of the innovative new products and services that are absolutely going to come from this industry. Individual consumers can make a conscious choice to buy a greener slice of electric production than they would otherwise get.
Customers win again because they can get different levels of service.
Businesses that shut down their factories between Christmas and New Year's, or at some other time during the year, are going to be able to buy 11 months worth of energy and not have to buy 12 months. Everyone's going to win because of the improvements to the environment that will be driven by customers choosing a greener product. Suppliers have got to win their energy consumers every single day in the marketplace, and to do so they will choose a greener image to match the greener desires of consumers. The economy's going to win because the costs that used to be in people's energy pockets are now available to flow into other places. If Massachusetts electricity consumers save a couple of hundred million dollars a year in their energy bills, and Californians do too, this represents, after-tax, disposable dollars that are going to be redeployed somewhere in the economy.
