Should I worry that the top executives might have to circumvent their plans for a new vacation house, yacht, foreign luxury car, or limit their travel in the corporate jet?

Why haven't the utility companies kept up with the times? Why aren't the diversifying into solar and wind themselves?

I'm sure they're just trying to figure out how they can screw their customers as much as possible over the next five years, before the axe falls on them.
