Making a case for dynamic electricity pricing

Abstract: California has an energy problem: one quarter of its electricity-generating capacity is used for fewer than 100 hours each year. This capacity sits idle for all but the hottest days of summer, when air conditioning drives peak loads. And each year the costly peaks grow higher - partly because most Californians, who pay a flat rate for their electricity, have no financial incentive to shift their electricity use away from these peaks. This may be changing, however. Matt Burgess plugs into dynamic electricity pricing.
