Oh yes, when I lived on the island over the ditch, I remember brown and blackouts in Summer were a regular occurrence. Never forgot that nightmare when it 40+ outside. Still, most people waste a hell of a lot of power as well. I look at my bill closely and my family uses about 25% to 30% less than the average just by being conscious of waste.
