No, my mistake, he is very unsupportive of it. What is the point in trying to save energy in coordination with other eco-worriers around the country when he could be gaming instead?
It's for your future mate, I'll probably be dead before it really becomes a problem. Getting together to show we can cut our energy usage when we need to seems to be a good thing to me. I think if things carry on the way they are, and we cannot find alternative energy sources (personally, as well as as a society) then we will have enforced outages at peak hours like this. And, if it saves me £1.50 off the electricity bill that is just a bonus.
Sign up to Octopus energy here1 and you can annoy your family with things like this. And we both get £50 back too!
