It is your thermostat, but the power is not yours and neither are the generating facilities.

The problem with more power plants is that they impose huge environmental costs.

Besides, do you want one next to YOUR house?

It's too bad people can't control their own power usage. A recent experiment showed that they conserved quite a lot when they had the ability to monitor it. The problem is that it costs a lot to do that right now.

Get to work on cheaper solar cells if you want more power.
