I'm bothered that so many people on here see the rationing that these people do as such a bad thing. The easiest way to increase the percentage of renewable energy that you personally use is through cutting usage and limiting peak demand. The energy company you pay will always use their renewable generating capacity because the unit cost of that energy is 0 compared to >0 for fossil fuel power. If your electric company all of a sudden needed to generate 50% less power, they would cut fossil fuel plants first.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoThere's no heat! Except in the community hall and church. I went in wondering how they deal with that. They never say. Burning peat? Wood? Just staying cold? Its the most important part of the consumer energy equation. Here, at 5kW per household max, there's no way they can heat using electricity.
