Toby Considine commented on EMIX-441:
-------------------------------------

While it is true that Power is a commodity, it is normal English usage defines the results of Product Differentiation, as different products, even if the differences are only perceived. The goal of Product Differentiation is to work to the the Customer Perspective, not the Producer Perspective. The distinctions of where the customer wants it, and when the customer wants it are clearly significant to the customer.

Power then *is* a commidity product that is brought to the customer who perceives product differentiation as to time, place, means of production, quality, etc. That product differentiation leads to different products.

Today's existing markets, however imperfect, clearly distinguish between Power source, i.e., reneweable ve non-renewable power. In either case, the commodity delivered is the same, as above, but the market price, and the product as normally defined, are different.

Investopedia explains Product Differentiation

Product differentiation can be achieved in many ways. It may be as simple as packaging the goods in a creative way, or as elaborate as incorporating new functional features. Sometimes differentiation does not involve changing the product at all, but creating a new advertising campaign or other sales promotions instead.

> Energy as a product is the same regardless of when it is delivered, produced, or consumed.  The value of the energy may change but the energy itself does not.   A tomato is a tomato regardless if there is a blight that wipes out half of the crop 6 months from now.  The price goes up, but a tomato is a tomato (unless you get in to species specifics)
