Not so much "control", just a blatant method of raising the prices while
saying it is your fault it costs so much. Get used to doing your laundry and
cooking after midnight, that is when the rates you have now will kick in,
while the daytime and evening rates will skyrocket. We have these meters
here but the local utility hasn't started billing according to time of day.

It's a form of rationing that the rich aren't subject to because it's
chump change to them.

I would rather see ration coupons wherein people could sell their
unneed coupons on the open market.
