They had this in Virginia...I think they turned off the hot water tank. It was not a problem. We had a heat pump. Think we got $3 or $4 off our bill...which was cheap to start with as we were New Yorkers...
More electric cars are needed…
If only there were some way to avoid this... if only... oh I know- require everyone to switch over to electric everything.
The left truly are Insane
Ah Great Britain, a nation who’s GDP per person is lower than the state of Alabama’s....
Just something to chew on.
You can’t power modern civilization on wind and solar.
Yes, paying people to not demand energy is better than providing an adequate supply, eh Governor?
Britain has committed cultural suicide and is in decadent decline. Absolutely no sympathy for a country that sits on all that coal and has significant North Sea oil reserves.
It was very poorly worded communication, probably purposely so. My response: under no circumstances give permission for a smart meter to be installed (had to read between the lines to see what they were after).
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Oh, so lovely sittin’
Abso-bloomin’-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over me window sill

"If we pay people enough, they wouldn't use any power Sunday through Saturday and our problem is solved. Plus, with our generous government payments, people would have all the money they need to live, so they could quit their jobs and live life to the fullest. Without the drudgery of a job and with our glorious National Healthcare, they wouldn't have any worries and could all become poets."
Dudley Dursley will NOT be happy when he finds out tea will be served late.
People should form rotating pot-luck dinner pods...four families bring a food dish to the fifth’s home for dinner...it’s just an hour, and four families get the $25 and a little social time. Not that it’s not ridiculous for the government to ask this, but as restrictions go, this is one you could take advantage of.
I can not use a great deal of electric power. Will be be paid according to how much power we don’t use?
...Save $25 by killing your power for an hour? That’s pretty useless... Might be worth it if it’s available every hour, but for a single hour, on one day? It’s too much effort to actually bother with.
