As an old person, I recall this same story making the headlines in the late 1970's. Next headline will include advice on how not to raise suspicion. I assume solar and wind are the method that is replacing diesel generators.
Right?
And why many have gone to significant lengths over the years.
LED changed that so much the power utility probably has to use different tools to find them.
Besides, power company stats are so bad they say I use 2x-3x the power of "comparable homes" in a 7 mile radius.
Holy cow powerman, that's the entire metro region.
Oh, and "comparable homes" are upwards of 50% larger (or smaller).
Im surprised they get the bill right with stats like that.
Utility company execs need to be hunted like ~~dogs~~ electrical substations and weather radar.
