Scene from BECKET:
King Henry gets wet in a rain storm and seeks shelter in a hovel.
Henry: GIVE ME FIRE AND WARMTH!
Becket: You will find no fire her sire.
Henry: And why is that!
Becket: Every family is allowed two measures of wood a year. One stick more and they are hanged.
Henry: MY edict?
Becket: Your edict sire.
So instead of using a smaller heater to only heat the occupied space desired, they want you to use MORE energy to heat the whole building????
Or, do as the British do... murder them before being born, and then use them for fuel.

Cheap Trick actually went into the studio to rescore Dream Police for the commercial.
1. You will come to regret doing this the next time you paint the room. Frequent candle use leaves a film of wax on everything, which prevents new paint from adhering to the old paint.
2. The $ per Watt-hour from candles are much more expensive than from electricity.
3. Ask any fire inspector -- the number of residential fires from candles is much higher than the number from electricity, even though all homes have electricity and only some have candles.

I think you must be thinking of New Braunfels down near
San Antonio.
My Mother lives in "Seisure World", Seal Beach, Ca., the homes are all electric. Having been built in the early sixties the have that oh so efficient(not) radiant heat coils in the ceilings. If it wasn't for her two small oil filled electric heaters she would either burn through her modest Social Security stipend or figgin freeze to death!
During the 1940s New Bremen had two schools, a business, and a number of scattered dwellings. Only a cemetery and the shell of its last school remained in 1990.
A cemetery and shell, how appropriate.
I have an OLD friend who lives near there and we DID visit it. I can't remember, she MIGHT have had a distant relative buried there. Since there were many Germans there, it would PROBABLY be her husband's distant relatives.
Ah me, the memory.
Of course, I COULD call her on the phone right this minute and ASK her. She would know.
But that would be WAY too easy, wouldn't it? :o)
LOVE that vehicle. I would LOVE one for the traffic!
Hey, I just remembered, I'm retired and don't drive in "the traffic" any more. Huzzah, huzzah!!!
And if post turtle Mitch and the GOPe win the Senate, it'll be the same thing.
An American steps outside his front door & sees that his neighbor has a brand new Mercedes. He thinks, “Wow! Someday I’m going to have a car just like that one!”
A German steps outside his house & sees the same luxury car. He grouses, “What gives him the right to drive such an expensive car?”
You can pry my schnitzel from my cold dead hands!!!
