Now, if only the Canadians had actually done such a thing

Ah yes, the abstinence technique. Brilliant.

I for one like the ability to heat my home at night in the winter, not have it be >30°C inside in the summer (system has to catch up at night), keep my living space at a reasonable humidity, cook food, and use modern amenities without incurring a ridiculous cost.

There’s no other way to cut it. We will need more electrical capacity than today, not less.

No it does not feel perfectly cool for all of us. Sincerely, someone who was soaked in sweat in their own home due to high indoor temperatures like this all week.
