  OK, chump...  here goes...

  ALL business and industrial service MUST pay for ALL non-PF corrected
loads.

  The meter is not corrected, you equipment must be.  That means that any
and all inductive loads that you use WILL cost you a bit more.

  How can you possibly know the difference between WATTS and VARS, and
not know what that difference really amounts to or whom it would be
applicable to?
