    Charging more during peak hours has been around for a long time. Some of the early methods were actually much more stringent for customers (I.e. changing rates permanently, etc.). Back in my time working as an EE, I worked on reducing peak loading prior to Y2K.

    Yet just 3 days ago....

    "
    It was determined that the cause of the fire was the explosion of the vehicle’s hybrid battery.

    Gaudet says that flames from the vehicle exceeded over thirty feet in height.

    He says the fire spread to the adjacent grass and was quickly extinguished before it could reach nearby woods.

    It took over three tankers of water to put out the blaze.

    Gaudet says in his forty plus years as a firefighter, he has never seen anything like it."

    Look it up yourself. You made the bogus statement. Back it up.

    2010 in California due to investing in intermittent power generation instead of 24/7 power generation.

    Did you know that gasoline is flammable, and the fires have caused many deaths?

    You know I don't keep a tank of gasoline in my house just like I won't put a battery wall in either for the same reason...
