Nah -- those are a CODB, and their use is just part of that.

Conservation reduces Costs.  The awlbidniss isn't all that concerned
about conservation of their product, however.

Conservation works!  More folks should do it, if they Want lower
energy use and overall costs to them.  The energy bidniss, however,
will respond to decreased use by increased Price, citing fixed costs
as the rationale.

You can't win.  You can lose, however.  The game is rigged.

No one's talking about Giving it away.  Just what the cost and price
ratio really is.

For all the Talk about Conservation as a useful goal, the awlbidniss
would as lief you not do that, because it would lower the use of their
product, and then they'd have to increase Price yet again.

Which they won't really mind doing, once y'all have become used to the
next Price Point.

If you'd care to post a chart of the difference in consumer cost
between private and state-run petroleum, feel free to do that at your
convenience. 

You won't, though.

The direct answer is No, however.  But it's important that consumers
know what the scam really is.  They may not be able to Do all that
much about it, but it's better that they Know than not.
