Reply to comment by GreyGreenBrownOakova in USB-C iPhone will be mandatory in Europe as EU law passes final stage by prehistoric_knight

I am talking now. There are 98 nuclear reactors in 30 U.S. states. Not a single city or adjacent cities that have kept up their grids have a manmade electricity crisis.

Your house is restricted by local code to only allow a certain amount of electricity. Most (not all) cap you around 400amp to 800amp without a commercial license.

Your town is awesome, with no electricity restrictions, now you guys need to get off coal because you are wasting it and your city is ruining the environment.

We are near zero carbon electricity, we don’t need restrictions as it has never been a consumer issue, your elected officials have failed you for decades.

It's a story about the EU, but as a typical American, you have to make it all about you.

>Your house is restricted by local code to only allow a certain amount of electricity.

not true.

>without a commercial license.

no such thing here. Commercial business get a discount for higher usage.

>now you guys need to get off coal because you are wasting it and your city is ruining the environment.

yes, we are. Things take time. In the meantime, we need to avoid wasting electricity.

>We are near zero carbon electricity

not even remotely true.

100% true lol. We have nuclear, hydroelectric, and solar.

Sorry some places don’t have nuclear, you guys are destroying the planet. You are wasting coal, not electricity.

Funny how you edit the responses. Hard to argue with a propagandist.

nothing you have said is remotely true. The world still uses fossil fuels and needs to avoid wasting electricity.

The entire world doesn’t use fossil fuels for making electricity, stupid humans do, and only in certain areas run by stupid elected officials.

There is no such thing as wasting electricity. Fix the manmade grid and production crisis your local area is facing. It is your elected officials fault and is not the fault of consumers .

That is propaganda. Stop telling near zero carbon electric customers how to use electricity because your city is run poorly.

The world is full of Karen’s, these Karen’s need to focus on their own electricity manmade crisis before telling other people how to use theirs who aren’t facing an electricity crisis at all.

Electricity is part of a grid and most grids use some form of fossil fuel. We need to stop wasting electricity, so we reduce CO2 emissions. Only an idiot can't understand this.

Nobody owns electricity. Your area uses fossil fuels, that is a local problem, not a global consumer problem.

Again there are tons of near zero carbon users with nuclear, solar, wind and hydroelectric. Stop telling others how to use electricity and fix your local manmade crisis

If you care about the environment start voting for people who promote Generation III+ nuclear

Electricity is generated by utilities. Utilities are regulated by governments. If you don’t have nuclear it is your governments fault, not the utility or the consumers

We don’t have basements in any of our homes.

People have the right to use as much near zero carbon electricity as they wish or can afford.

Telling people to hold their farts to save the environment is about as stupid as telling someone to restrict electricity usage. Nothing in life is free
