Is showing the math not a solution to the problem of consumers believing the regulated delivery charges are fixed and they have no control over them? Maybe I have too much faith in people, but I was hoping it would alleviate a lot of griping about how "it doesn't matter how much gas I use because all those other bull#### charges are 80% of my bill anyway!" if people are shown that most of the "bull#### charges" would go down if their consumption went down.

This goes to my point though: how would consumers know that you kept rates flat if you never showed them the rates?
