now, now, what's a few million euros worth of spoiled food every a few weeks during the summer compared to, to, compared to.... well what ever it's compared to

White goods such as electric ovens would be affected by the proposals to fit all new appliances with sensors that could shut them down when the UK's generators struggle to meet demand for power.
The measures proposed by the UK’s National Grid, along with its counterparts in 34 European countries, to install the controversial devices are backed by one of the European Union's most influential energy bodies.
They are pushing for the move because green energy sources such as wind farms are less predictable than traditional power stations, increasing the risk of blackouts
The proposals are outlined in documents drawn up by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), and has been agreed by the EU-wide body of energy regulators.
The proposals were sent to the European Commission on March 27, and it is set to deliver its verdict on the proposals within three months, the Mail on Sunday reported....

These people just don't learn.

How ‘bout ya just produce more energy?
I can’t foresee any complications ever arising from this power grab (unintended pun, actually). What could possibly go wrong?!
Yeah, destroy all of your nuclear plants and replace them with windmills. REALLY SMART THINKING.
Once LENR comes into its own, the power grid will be a source of storage for offsite generation.
And the NHS can pick up the load for the increase in food poisoning cases because people are eating spoiled food. It’s a twofer!
We signed up to allow the power company here to close us down on bad days at the Legion Post.
We were having a party at the Post at 3 in the evening with if 95 outside when they shut off the power to the air conditioning.
Needless to say that won’t happen again.
By the way we lost the compressors in two of our air conditioners last year, Probably when they shut down the power coming in.
“They are pushing for the move because green energy sources such as wind farms are less predictable than traditional power stations, increasing the risk of blackouts.”
Some advancements, huh? Figure out ways to remotely shut down individual equipment. How about putting the effort into delivering power reliably?
We should be able to wipe out millions of them that way.
Of course they do learn. Right after it’s too late, all theiir options have gone, and the ropes are everywhere.
And create a Black Market for older Appliances.
Yeah who cares about wasted/spoiled food. we have green energy to support!
We already have this at home on A/C it shuts off during peak depletion!
Installed by the power co!

That’s what Liberals have in mind.
“If the commies get to control the temperature of my beer, that’ll be the last straw...”
You might not want to live over there...they drink their beer at ambient temp. Draft beer has some chill, but not cold like it is here...but they don’t drink the watered down Bud, Coors, Millers etc. Their beer has flavor, and does not need to be ‘iced’.
One of the enviromental groups was pushing for government controlled thermostats.
