They’re too busy working on a giant machine to block out the sun so we need more energy.

Your still using them if you are.

NotSurHowTitanicEnds t1_j5rrz1y wrote

Youre actually helping them out too. They’re selling energy you overproduce to your neighbors. They charge your neighbors the same high price as everyone else but it cost Eversource very little. Im all for solar, just not Eversource benefiting from it.

They're ecstatic; it just means your meter is gonna start whirring once you turn on your lights.

While funny, LED bulbs are cheap and efficient. I’m starting to think I’m the outlier who barely lights the house and has the blackout shades pulled during the day if I’m at home.

Someone tell me I’m not the only one

BisexualDisaster29 t1_j5qsezh wrote

I don’t have blackout shades, but I only turn on the lights if I need them, like when I’m cooking. Otherwise, I maneuver in the dark.

russsl8 t1_j5qvlnn wrote

Well, it was meant as a joke. 😜

We, too, have all LED bulbs in our house, and my wife and I do make an effort to turn off lights in the house in rooms that are currently uninhabited. But as anyone with kids can attest there's always wasted electricity due to rooms with lights on and no one in the room.

crazybipolarbabe t1_j5r4bdy wrote

I can attest. Walking around the house multiple times a day to turn off all the lights the kids left on is how I get my exercise.

Jackers83 t1_j5rvaen wrote

Omg, that is the truth. Everyday I remind my kids. In one ear out the other.

Motion sensor switches! Legrand sells them in the box stores. The adorne collection is aesthetic and has numerous options.

It's adorable that you think Eversource has feelings. It's as if you expect them to give a shit which they clearly do not.

If it was scientifically possible, Eversource would shift the tilt and rotation of the earth to place Connecticut in the dark for 80% of the year.

It's a shame we didn't pick a very tall person as governor, the sun sets slightly later for them.

Let’s change the title to, in efforts to save on eversource bills, CT residents take it upon them selves to light up their neighborhoods with high beams.

Anyone hear military jets around 10am near Hartford? Heard the boom and saw two flying west over Hartford.

"Connecticut is a highway between NY and Boston" this state is becoming a victim of gentrification. Unfortunately..... the middle and lower class have nowhere to go because the surrounding states are just as expensive.

CT’s future has never been promising. It’s boring as Shit and is nothing but a retirement home for old folks settling down.

MadMarsian_ t1_j5shmmc wrote

MOre like Dim. Lights will stay on but people will learn how to conserve energy for the sake of their own purse. In the end, It might actually be beneficial to the Environment, the State and the people… unless of course no lessens will be learned. Which is what the “track” shows for most individuals in this country.
