Scary headline, but the important info is buried a few paragraphs deep: "'It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives,' said Emmett Romine, vice president of customer solutions and innovation at Xcel. Customers receive a $100 credit for enrolling in the program and $25 annually, but Romine said customers also agree to give up some control to save energy and money and make the system more reliable." So basically what we have here is a bunch of people who didn't realize what they signed up for, and a clickbait headline. Thank you, next.
