Energy efficiency
Implement a policy shift for utilities that separates, or decouples, how much profit they make from the amount of energy their customers buy.

As a rule, utilities lose money by getting customers to conserve, because their revenues are tied directly to how many units of energy they deliver.

This can be fixed if we allow utilities, as they promote conservation, to be able to raise electricity delivery rates to offset lost revenue.
