HOUSEHOLDS could have their televisions, airconditioners and fridges switched off remotely by power companies during peak times under plans to rein in the insatiable demand for electricity.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the option is among a raft of measures being considered as part of a national review into managing power use in the home.
Under the scheme, power companies would turn off household appliances for set periods of up to half an hour at a time.
An airconditioning unit or pool pump may be switched off for 30 minutes every five hours while a fridge may be shut down for 10 minutes.
Households signing up to the scheme would be given guarantees by their electricity supplier they would not notice any changes, in a similar way consumers with off-peak hot water systems do not notice when it is on or off.

Look with the cell phones, ipods and all that crap. They have the switch on those memote controls they charge a bundle to operate.
Keep serving the masters, I guess people do not have enough pride anymore to do what is to be done. Addicted to the toys they create to feed you with?
Duality can serve good or evil, but right now evil has the floor and goodness is simply watching?
Necessity is the mother of invention. In China (where this kind of government control is acceptable) the utility supply is so unreliable that having a backup generator is normal.
THe only way to force peacefull the change we want to see is by having Washington invaded by 1 million peace advocates, if 1 million isn’t enough then lets be 2 million eventually the only way to stop the many is nuking us all but they will end there own existance as well. They rely on FEAR from seeing us stand up and believe me they are hoping and doing sacrificial sceremonies hoping the million ants do not unite.
