I do agree with you on that, but you can't have it both ways. It either raised no money and wasn't effective, or it was hurting people in exactly the right way.
The point of raising people's power bills wasn't to make them hot in summer, it was to make them consider new tech such as the air-conditioners that the power company can turn off suburb by suburb 10 minutes at a time to manage peak load. This stuff is coming thankfully and it should help end gold plating.
I guess I must concede the point that it wasn't effective, because the pressure should have been put on suppliers to make these changes, not allowed to be passed straight to struggling families.
Hoping that you're staying on top of your power bills,
Aaron.
