It seems to me, that instead of having set times and prices for peak 
times, and trying to regulate technology (which changes much faster than 
regulations), I would be better off if they used those smart meters that 
we paid through the nose for, to broadcast the instantaneous price. 
Then I could change my patterns on an instantaneous basis rather than 
responding to year old (at least) regulations and predictions about 
usage patterns.

Thank You Kindly,
