Go Pepco Go!
The metro area set a new record for daily winter electricity use yesterday, a reporter declared on our local Fox News broadcast last night. But it's another cold one and I think--no, I know--we can do better than that.Here are few simple things you can do to help take us over the top!
- Keep your thermostat set at at least 75 degrees. If you become uncomfortable, simply remove extra layers of clothing.
- If you must blow-dry your hair, be sure to do so during peak hours.
- Two words: incandescent bulbs.
- The hotter the water, the better. And baths are better than showers.
- Your electric oven will do a much better job than your microwave at burning energy. So preheat away and then throw in that chicken pot pie.

Lots of 1750 watt space heaters everywhere on max all the time.
And, then there's the 112 year old Mexican dude who lives next door to us (me and drp) and burns noxious wood to heat his house. Every time he does my daughter and I are woozy and light headed for days. Coughing too.
