Mains power voltage drop to reduce usage?

When are people going to stop this carbon s*it? Where do they think the carbon used to be?

FFS just have a mud wrestle will you?

Then you live in an uncivilized country which doesn't have enough power at peak times.

But we do. No blackouts, brownouts, rotating blackouts, downfrequency, whatever.

At least it works.

The brand name weather station doesn't, and lights up the "change battery" icon.

Plants have sequestered so much carbon that they were close to starving themselves to death. We're fixing that, and crop yields show it. We're re-greening the planet. Well, China is.

California wants all electric cars, all electric homes, no nukes, no dams, no fracking, no gas, no power plants. It will get interesting.

No jobs, either. All that sort of nonsense is for Texas.

Indeed, even NASA admitted it. But the governments stick to their guns, they've invested too much in the green s**te.

Maybe the heat is frying their brains.

That's not working. Anything built in the last few decades should handle rechargeables.

Which brand name?

I have a device which lights up a battery icon, I ignore it. Cheap s*it freebie from a power company to monitor power usage.

The COP27 elites, with their private jets and wagyu beef lunches and arctic-level air conditioned tents, actually want the unwashed masses (ie, you and me) to suffer.

Worse, they want to keep the Africans hungry and in the dark.

Seems unlikely to me, but... you CAN just take a shower.

Seems unlikely to me... China is building an African transcontinental railway, how does that fit the claim? What does 'elites' mean? Just a stereotype?

If there was enough power they wouldn't have to overcharge you at certain times of day. You're spreading their load for them at your expense/hassle.

We have triple generating capacity than peak use ever.

ROTFL

That's all right. It is the "dark continent".

Then what excuse do they have for charging you more at peak time?

Take it back under warranty.

They need lighting even more to see the darker skin in low light.

the generating capacity to cover peaks are expensive gasturbines etc. that only get fired up when needed
