Cool, how do you feel that this effort was for them to sell power elsewhere for more profit?

I feel great! Back when they were selling at a profit to Enron, I got a dividend cheque in the mail.

BC Hydro is owned by the people of BC. If they make money elsewhere, it subsidizes my rates.

And so far, my energy conservation at peak times has given me a $9 credit to my bill, even though I was just offsetting my use to times outside the challenge window.
