The joke around here is the water company pushed and pushed for people to conserve water...you’d save money ...they told us. So millions did what they were told...and water use declined and rates declined for a while.
Now we’re seeing skyrocketing rates for the little water we use. When a local talkshow host challenged the water company and sewer company...
They said the massive rate increases were due to “over conservation” which was causing insufficient income to maintain the systems. LOL.
I look to reports like this about electricity and our failing power grid to also be the direct result of the ‘green agenda’ too. The unintended consequence of ‘over conservation’ that doesn’t account for a minimum of use to maintain the systems, nor the inexpensive sources that have historically made the most financial sense (ie. coal).
I’d suggest they take a look at our industrial meltdown and out sourcing needs. U.S. industry has been greatly downsized and there is no longer a demand for electricity in the American manufacturing fields. Better take a look at the Chinas need for electrical power to see where the demand REALLY is.

Yeah, you got it. Over half the new electrical generation installed in the USA is solar or wind a large percentage of the solar is off grid. Which takes revenue away from grid maintenance which drives up the costs to the fewer remaining end users. At a certain point the economics of off grid vs grid are going to swing in favor of off grid and the grid will implode.
Curiously the same thing is going to happen in obamacare as fewer healthy people are available to cover the costs of sick people —the costs to people left on the network will rise to where they become prohibitive.
