Yeah, it's all good until they have to do like they do in California where they are forced to have rolling blackouts just to keep up with demand. Toronto Ontario area is damn close to the same problem. They just shut down a power plant with no replacement and now are bitching that everyone's consuming too much.

It's always "someone else's problem" until it affects you personally, isn't it. Then those same people are the first to ---smurfette---. Nice.

Did they turn off YOUR air conditioner today?  Is THAT why you're sounding so cranky?  I don't know if you noticed it or not, but it certainly WOULD affect him personally.  Not only that, it would affect him monthly.  They send these things to people all the time called "bills".  For the effects of his actions, that bill directly affects him. 

You want to be immune to the problem, go off the grid, add some alternative energy source to help relieve the load, invent a way to remove the effects, etc.  Here's an idea.  Work to get those people who think the same way you do and want to solve the problem into positions of power. 

Kinda surprised you thought consuming enough power to whine was a smart use of your resources.  Are you one of those "first to auto censor"?
