Sometimes individuals must choose between two courses of action: one that most benefits the community and another that most benefits the person making the decision. Faced with such a choice, individuals tend to choose the course of action most beneficial to themselves. It is therefore a principle of good government to adjust the incentives and disincentives for private individuals so that such choices rarely arise, ensuring as far as possible that what is the best choice for individuals is the best choice for the community.
Which one of the following best illustrates an application of the cited principle of good government?
(A) In order to escape charges of favoritism, the city government awards the contract for a new courthouse to a different developer from the one who completed the new city hall, even though the contract bids from both developers were the same.
(B) In order to satisfy a powerful law-and-order group, the legislature rejects a new bill protecting suspects’ rights, despite the bill’s popularity among voters in general.
(C) In order to placate laid-off government workers who have demanded help in acquiring skills necessary for private industry jobs, the government diverts funds from existing social programs to a new job-training program.
(D) In order to deflect voter attention from a recent increase in the salaries of elected officials, the legislature votes against a proposal to increase the salaries of appointed officials.
(E) In order to avoid electricity shortages that will occur unless electricity use in the city significantly decreases, the city government approves an increase in the electricity rate charged to city residents.

I think there is something wrong with E? Why electricity shortage will occur when electricity use significantly decreases? It is a conflict...
