Surely someone will chime in to tell me why I'm wrong, but do you wonder if the increased electricity costs have just shifted more firms' manufacturing plants to Mexico, where they are going to produce that GHG that we supposedly saved anyways? To me it seems like the only actual change was job loss, and the related government revenue etc.
