URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”


7 A.M. to 9 A.M., Tomorrow Morning, February 5

Because of the colder than normal temperatures across our region today and the slow track of this extremely cold weather out of our area, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., tomorrow morning, we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights or appliances during these hours.

While one of the largest consumers of electricity in the home during these hours and during this time of year are heating costs, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, hot water heaters and stoves.

By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. tomorrow morning, we can save energy resources, avoid high cost energy and help the environment.

We thank you for your help. Together we can “Beat The Peak”

Our congress is working on a bill to digitize every home so as to control how much power each home uses. Above a certain level will cost more. There are to be digital screeens that inform the government of excess usage.Which will lead to Government control from with in our personal homes.

But it will still be our choice to use more or not , if it is more one will have to pay more. This is just the beginning ( step one )in controlling all the doggies in America. Socialism is on its way.

I have never had a hot water heater. The reason is, I've never had hot water that needed to be heated... it's already hot. I do, however have a water heater that heats the cold water.
By the way, another one that bothers me lately with all the buy your gold commercials...JOOLERY! These people are supposed to be in the jewelry business! Tell me, is a "Jewry" where Jews are born?
Where are educated professionals these days?
