Re: Switch all the lights on then leave the room to make a cup of tea
Now running at 667.4 MW over what the National Grid would expect on a normal day. So no one is doing anything useful about this
 Which is less than 1% - but the wrong way! |

Re: Switch all the lights on then leave the room to make a cup of tea
...unless of course you have energy saving lightbulbs, which should only be used in places where they will be on for long periods of time (they are very ineffecient till they warm up, moreso than normal ones).
