[Greenbuilding] Low powered (wattage) water heaters availablethrough Hydro Quebec

[Peter Kidd]

I should have put a paragraph break there.  Off Peak involves meters and 
brochures and billing software and public regulatory hearings and so on 
and so forth.  There have been a lot of broad assertions about what 
matters to A utility, but there is no single utility reality, different 
utilities face different issues and off peak is not a universally useful 
option, nor are its costs and benefits identical in each utility's 
situation -- not unlike most things.  I think public utilities have 
other cultural problems, and of course a couple of years is nothing in 
the geological time scale ....
