I thought this may be front page copy, but that is up to ADMIN.
From the Baltimore Sun,1-11-08:
"The intention was good: Maryland power companies would help customers save electricity by providing discounted or free energy-efficient light bulbs.
But consumers have discovered they're paying for the program - whether they use it or not - with a surcharge on every month's utility bills. And only a few stores offer the discount, which means inconvenience - if the consumer bothers to find the bulbs at all........."
This particular scenario is from BG&E, but the other electrical utilities operating in Maryland have similar customer-financed programs.

Not really much to discuss without a link with some facts.
