The Growing Issue of Sex Trafficking-Saving on Electricity

Steve Cicala, PhD, Assistant professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research led a study that determined that deregulated power markets on the wholesale level have significantly cut the cost of generating electricity, saving consumers $3 billion a year. He discussed how this little-known market works and why it should matter to consumers. He also explained how smart meters will eventually give consumers even greater power in managing their energy costs.
