I think John might not realize you live in San Diego, which has already deregulated. Unfortunately I don't believe your rates will come down until the problems in the rest of California are resolved, I live in Bush country (Orange County). Actually most of California is Bush country except for a couple of the big cities. San Diego WAS deregulated but has since been REregulated and I think they even received a refund or it's in the works. I believe San Diego's reregulated price is 6.5 cents per Kwh. I believe the Edison service area is a lot bigger and our regulated price with the recent 10 percent increase is 14 cents per Kwh. I don't know what all their screaming was about considering their doubled coast was about the same as my cost. If deregulation had been eased in perhaps it would have worked. Hmmm. I just looked at my bill. The fourteen cents includes distribution and transmission costs. San Diego's 6.5 cents does not. My D&T costs are about 5 cents per Kwh so assuming the same for San Diego would make their juice cost about 11.5 cents per Kwh. Most of the articles are quoting 5.5 and 6.5 cents per Kwh numbers. It looks like you have to add about 5 cents to get the bottom line figure. Zeuspaul
