LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Customers of Lincoln Electric System, Nebraska Public Power District and Prairie Land Electric serving Kansas are being asked to take steps to conserve energy use due to current and future low temperatures that are affecting the state and midwestern portion of the country.
These low temperatures have caused increased electricity and natural gas usage. The higher usage is creating extremely high wholesale electricity and natural gas prices. These factors, along with reduced output from wind in the region to provide renewable energy, have prompted utility companies to ask residential and business customers to take measures to reduce energy use.

The Pandemic Has Shown Us, Customers Rule.
Consumers also don't know what they want from new innovations. They often know what they want only after they see it. No one, for example, asked for ride-sharing apps before Uber and Lyft appeared.
