Deregulation was supposed to cut electricity prices. But it also allowed consumers to choose a utility on the basis of other criteria, such as the energy source. That prompted EP&L into action. Renewable energy's future is a simple case of demand and supply: if EP&L and others influence consumers to choose renewables, more suppliers will enter the business.

Harvard maintains its “greatness” through its social momentum, a culturally ingrained self-fulfilling prophecy. People believe Harvard provides an excellent education and that this education is what allows for success, when in reality much of the success that Harvard students enjoy...
