The rising demand for electricity in California during the year 2000:

B) increased the elasticity of demand for electricity generators, causing some power companies to go out of business.
C) decreased the elasticity of demand curve for electricity generators, giving the generating companies an incentive to close down plants and send electricity prices soaring.
