Reply to comment by OneDwarfTwoSocks in PJM asks to conserve power by LGP214

How do you know they are wasting more power than a million people living in the county? Think about all the people going to the game that are turning off their home lights. I think they are just reminding people to turn off unused items because it will save money on your bill and help the grid.

I am not going to explain why our heat at home is a higher priority than the lights in a stadium. If we have the power to light up advertisements we have the power for my space heater.

There is a game and people are not home so they can turn off their home lights to offset the stadium energy. Instead of blaming the shortage on something with the most visibility like the stadium we could harness’s the common effort of a million people to double check and turn off a few unused items

The stadium uses an order of magnitude more power than all the lights in all of the homes of everyone in attendance.

The average household uses 1500 watts an hour. An nfl stadium is around 10 megawatts or about 150 watts per fan.

Are you under the impression that everyone shuts off their furnace and breaker when they leave their home? I'm blocking you now because you are either not acting in good faith or havent completed the fourth grade.

So did the people attending the game turn off their heat and lights when they left the house?

I said they can turn off their home lights and I said nothing about heat. The point is that the stadium is just a popular punching bag for people to use as a distraction from doing the bare minimum of checking if they are wasting any energy.

I don't think anyone was saying don't have Steeler games, most likely talking about the times the stadium is lit up when there are no events....................🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
