    I will tell you something Eric
    from personal experience.
    The only change will be in the price of electricity.
    The companies producing it will not make enough and they will increase the
    price to meet their forecasted goals.
    Same happened with the oil companies.
    When Japanese started manufacturing fuel efficient cars the price of oil
    went up.
    the north American car manufacturers followed the trend of fuel efficient
    cars
    the price goes higher. The Oil companies don't ever get deficient on profit.
    Think about it...
