If you actually read the article, nobody is asking individuals to reduce usage, the local government is trying to save on its own bill by... Turning off unused lights and computer monitors at work.
The real crime is variable rate power plans and price hikes. Shouldn't exist. It's a utility, why does it need a market price? Should be provided by government, not private companies...
That they are in the position where they even need to ask is an admission that they are sell out traitors to the inherent responsibilities and duties vested in them by the voting public.
They are frauds and failures, the only correct thing they could all do is rescind all permits for any data center contracts, and then resign immediately.
Anything less than that?
Run them out of town, outta the entire fucking state.
