For industrial, they can establish peak-times and broadcast the pricing info. So maybe not "seconds" but they can react to demands and pricing. It is possible (and depending on the industry, likely) that some industries do have backup power on site, so they switch to that and stop using grid power.
- inter_netuser 5y agoonly failed states turn off residential AC or heating. Boggles my mind how some think it's acceptable.
- gefhfffh 5y agoNope, smart states do that. Heat can be stored. Heat when it's cheap.
- inter_netuser 5y agoNah, I'll just run my own generator instead.
- gefhfffh 5y agoWell that's not smart
- Thorrez 5y agoI don't think raverbashing was talking about the state turning it off, but rather individual people turning their own AC/heating off. Nest Thermostat offers many features to automatically do this if users want it, both to save money, as well as to help the planet. Full disclosure, I work at Google, but not Nest. https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244031 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244031 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10975756 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10975756 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9242289 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9242289
