It would seem what one hand takes away (the increase in electricity rates) the other hand might give back... a tax reduction for electric powered cars (and cars powered by hydrogen or compressed air).Maybe it would be a better idea to grow biofuels to use for both cars and electricity generation so both sectors could benefit!

The good news is that electricity rates won't be going up 75% as ICE has wanted. Instead users of electricity will be hit with somewhere between an 11% and 41% rate increase.The highest increases going to those who use the most electricity. The 41% increase will go to those using 300 kilowatt hours a month or more. Apparently these people pay about US$62/month now for electricity which I would calculate to be around 20 cents a kilowatt hour. It is likely that most expats will be effected by the highest rate tier. Energy; Costa Rica Electricity Price Hike Gets Official Approval
