It's about time. I think this correlates with what happened with gas consumption earlier this year. People do what their pocketbooks dictate. When gas prices shot up, they finally started conserving, not out of some altruistic concern for the environment but because they simply couldn't afford to keep pumping money into their gas tanks. Now that unemployment is up, prices are up, wages are frozen, bonuses are cancelled, etc., people are backing off on spending and may actually start saving a few dollars for a rainy day.
