What the fuck are you even on about? Hello, you're living in the aftermath of a giant blackout with a tenuous power grid, and you're pissed off that you can't use your computer, your A/C, your laundry machine and all the lights in your house at once? I don't recall them making this demand that often.

In the wake of 8/14 the power grid here in Ontario is strained, and we hear about it all the time. "Please cut back on electricity for the next week". This I understand.

Now, if your argument is that "those idiots at Queen's Park fucked my shit up, I can't use my A/C", I'm okay with that.

The point was that you implied that using electricity was somehow less polluting than driving your car, when it clearly isn't at the moment.
