This is too rich:

"We're constantly looking at ways of saving energy. We use energy efficient light bulbs at Buckingham Palace and recycle 99 percent of green waste."

That's the Queen of England's spokeswoman talking. I stole it from Jorn Barger's RobotWisdom blog.

The Demand Also Rises

(Folsom, CA) Temperatures that came in below the forecast, as a result of the offshore marine layer, decreased the electricity demand on the power grid today, resulting in a peak demand of 43,679 megawatts. Today’s peak is far below the current record demand, which still holds at 45,597 megawatts set on September 8, 2004. In northern California, temperatures were as much as 10 degrees under forecast along the coast and 5-7 degrees lower inland.

California ISO watches the power load.

(I'm officially on blogging hiatus until this site relaunches with a better-design, etc. But I wanted to keep track of this.)
