    Prices aren’t going down because the costs aren’t going down. The infrastructure costs about the same either way.

      Fuel cost should go down with usage though. And if usage goes down, doesn’t that mean the grid is better equipped to handle it well, and should experience fewer problems as a result?

      Some costs should go down. Others are fixed, I agree.

        Most of the costs aren’t going down. The expensive part isn’t the fuel (in the us at least)
