“These wishes of the big energy supply corporations were realized, now you only produce electric energy for yourself if you have solar panels, and they're as happy to still be the one who gets to cash in all of what people pay for electricity.”

Well what I can say about it… I don’t know, it is strange. As I understand the electricity market the small people never could be a competitor to big electricity holdings, so what to be afraid? It could be just a matter of electricity meter work. For example we have in Russia such option that you could buy a electricity meter or counter which has two regimes of work – day and night, at night the electricity is twice cheaper than at a day, something like that and some people are using it with warming water at a house at night and collecting electricity at accumulators to use it at a day…
But you know the electricity is so cheap at Russia thanks to USSR hard work to making all electrical stations and thanks to Putin he has come to power right in a moment to stop privatization of our electricity corporation… So, I do not bother much about electricity bills as I bother about the greed of our apartment house service and repair company bills, more threatening are only penalties bill on roads which have got out of any comprehension but they are so high to stop endless deaths on roads...
