URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”
3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Friday, August 21
Because of the extremely warm weather over our region, between the hours of 3 P.M. and 7 P.M., today, we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights and appliances during these hours as well as turning your thermostat up 3 degrees.
While the largest consumers of electricity in the home during these hours and during this time of year are cooling costs and lighting, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, water heaters and stoves.
By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances as well as turning your thermostat up 3 degrees between 3 P.M. and 7 P.M., today, 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”

ReplyDeleteOne of my window air conditioners finally gave up the ghost today (the bigger one)... does this count?
ReplyDeleteYeah. everybody cut back so the poultry farmers can run their tunnel fans and lights 24/7. Today's poultry houses are the most eco-UNfriendly ever. The poultry industry should take a long hard look at the way their live operations strain local infrastructure. Yes, I know what I am talking about, I am a recovering poultry farmer.

ReplyDeleteLook on the bright side maybe you can trade it in on a new one now with the cash for clunkers lol
Lets see......is Obama turning up his air conditioning in the White House? Probably not. Why should he? He is not paying the bill, thats why.
