got this email from entergy today

We are introducing a voluntary opportunity for you to keep costs lower and save money by conserving energy when demand is high.

Weather events such as heat waves and cold fronts affect supply and demand for electricity. When demand is high, Entergy must operate additional power plants and purchase energy from other sources which can lead to higher costs. A Peak Event refers to a few times each year in which electricity demand is expected to be particularly high.

You can help by voluntarily using less energy when notified of an upcoming Peak Event. By taking simple steps like adjusting your thermostat, you are doing your part to help keep costs lower. There is no obligation on your part, but rather an opportunity to help conserve energy for you and your community.

How to participate?

Peak Events are based upon anticipated high usage of electricity, and typically happen four or five times a year. You will receive advance notice by email or text the day before a scheduled Peak Event.

Reducing your energy usage during a Peak Event is totally voluntary, but if you participate, we recommend that you reduce use of large appliances and heating or air conditioning units during specified times the following day, typically in the afternoon.

If you participate, you will receive a follow-up notification a few days after the Peak Event providing information on the amount of energy you reduced as well as the amount reduced in the community.

Thanks for doing your part to help.

Yeah frick that. I'll keep mine set on 75

It’s been so hot lately if I set it to 76 when I’m gone for the day my AC can’t catch up and when I get home at 5pm to set it to 73 it only gets down to 75 by the time I go to bed at 10pm.

The heat index has been 100 these past three days well into 10pm.

Go back to your mother's basement.
