    I got a call from NV Energy yesterday on my cell phone offering a "free" thermostat designed to save energy. I told the lady I have no desire to save energy since that will only result in a rate increase. I also told her I doubt NV Energy is the one paying for the thermostats and that it's likely being paid for by the federal government through some type of grant....therefore it's not free.

    She told me she of course doesn't know anything about rate increases or grants.
