I don't know much about the situation in Alaska. I do not wish to paint electric utilities in a bad light by calling them usurious. I just saw the possibility for electricity to become uneconomical for lower income people if, following upon the exit from the grid of large numbers who can afford solar, some utilities seek to recoup their losses by raising costs for the shrinking customer base that remains. In the US context it is hard to think of a way to help them that will obtain bipartisan support. Eric
