Man, fuck the energy companies. I'll use as much as I need and when I need it. it's not us.. it's their inability to provide enough energy due to internal decision making prompts them to run ads and campaigns to promote conservation so they don't have to update their systems and capacity. I'm sorry, but in the wake of Enron I don't believe a single fucking thing they say. Oh, and there are enough back-up systems in the dark that could provide enough to power to fill in the void with a few hours notice, but they choose to not fire them up so the whole "OMG, WE'RE OUT OF ENERGY; WE NEED TO RAISE THE PRICE BECAUSE YOU'RE DEMAND IS TOO HIGH AND YOU HAVE TO PAY A PREMIUM TO GET MORE POWER" game works to create more profit. Oh, and it's the consumer's fault for rolling blackouts because we didn't conserve enough. rolleyes.

omg it's a conspiracy! christ i'm tired of hearing everyone trying to stick it to the power company yeah like that's really gonna happen! they are just going to double your rate and if you keep being stupid and drain the grid down to the last of the reserve then enjoy your rolling black-outs.

i'm not saving energy for their sake, i'm saving for my own wallet's sake, for the principle of don't take more than you need and for the sake of the environment. when it's 107 degrees out like it was today, EVERYONE is blasting a/c everywhere like it's goin out of style. combine that with the co2 released from cars all over the road and all these emissions just work to trap more heat in the air. keep burning energy carelessly and then bitch about how much hotter the days are getting. all you "wiseguys" are doing is just compounding the problem. i rather enjoy the fact that our bay area skies aren't hazy and brown like los angeles, but if you guys like your brown-outs and filthy air, hey, there's more in store for you yet! YTMND!

increasing capacity and allowing people like you to continue wasting energy instead of starting to be conscious of your useage is no solution to the problem. gimme a break

yes global warming a liberal myth! god you really sound a childish brat right now... when you see a sign that says do not touch, do you go out of your way to break whatever it's referring to? it's time to grow up thrax

is this state fucked in so many ways, six ways from sunday: yep.

do I still love living here: yep.

I am not saying I blatently abuse and overuse energy. Sure I turn my a/c off when I go to work, keep it at a goddamn normal temperature and turn off the lights when I leave.

Whatever point or beliefs you wanted to make/have I respect it.

Can we just be TA friends? I was never really good in debate.

why not do what my buddy did? he drilled a tiny little hole in his meter and stuck a coffee stirrer in there to stop that little wheel from spinning and measuring. he leaves it out all day while he's at work, when he gets home he sticks the straw in, stops the meter from spinning, and uses the ac all night. he also leaves the straw in all weekend long. the 'man' only comes to check the meter every so often and its always during the day and never on the weekend. the hole is so tiny, you wouldn't be able to notice it unless somebody pointed it out to you. does this make sense to anybody? he's been doing it for about a year and a half and hasn't got caught and his neighboor has been doing it for about 10 years. it really works
