✦ Synopsis

Excessive enthusiasm for DR is driven largely by the illusion that increasing DR creates large bene®ts for consumers in the form of lower prices and the confusion created by referring to DR as a ``resource'' that should be treated just like supply resources in some unde®ned sense. DR should be implemented using standard market concepts and processes.
