Unlike the awlbidniss, the profits of which are dependent on Use and not Conservation, my operating Costs are dependent on conservation, not use. So I scheduled some maintenance on the house, which lowered the use, which lowered my costs. My electric coop likes it when use is lower rather than higher. That way it doesn't need to buy as much from the grid. >>>> Maintenance is Good! >>> Building new refineries, not so good: >> >> it would be good, but the awlbidniss doesn't Want to do that. > >Guess why? Don't need to guess. I already know. The awlbidniss doesn't Want you to experience lower prices. It already understands that higher prices yield higher margins. Nor does the awlbidniss Want you to experience conservation either. It wants you to use More product at the Higher Price. Maintenance is Good. It leads to higher prices, even as overall use doesn't seem to fall a bit.
