Unfortunately, we’ve been on this stupid “Negawatt” trajectory for over 30 years. It has greatly accelerated with the greens capturing the federal government regulators and insisting coal and gas plants be shut down and only windmills and solar be built.
Any energy engineer knows this is crap and will not work. At least real energy engineers who were classically trained and not today’s engineers steeped in gaia crap.
Yup...anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that it uses less energy to maintain a constant temperature than to treat your thermostat as a yo-yo.
