The EPA, however, contends reduced power demand resulting from the rule will push electricity bills downward over time even if rates go up.

As the jobs end and the plants close, the power demand goes down?

Turn off the streetlights?

Homeowners already have cut back to what they need for their households to function--no one is spending more than they need to. At northern latitudes, electric power, more fundamentally, heat, is not optional in winter. You get it or die.

Considering the EPA wants to shut down burning coal and wood for heat, too, that doesn't leave many options.
