The Dom-Post reports this morning that the public will be called on to make significant power savings when Cabinet meets today.
"All homes will be urged to cut their power use by up to 15 per cent in peak times as the Government grapples with the developing power crisis.
The Cabinet will today decide on measures to avert power cuts, which experts say could happen within four weeks."
The Dom-Post headline suggests washing dishes BY HAND as a first step. What do you think? I know it's a serious subject, but heck, it's Monday, so let's be creative and have some fun!! We might even e-mail all the ideas to David Parker!! So come on, save the nation!

We wash dishes by hand every day. We don't have a dishwasher.
Other suggestions - dont put the heater on during the day - wear a hat
Use a hottie intead of electric blanket
Dont put towel rail heaters on
use your washing line for hanging clothes and hang them on an airing rack at night to finish them off instead of using a dryer
use cold water to wash clothes
eat cold meat and salads, no cooking required (heh)
If all else fails - stay at your parents place
Take the batteries out of Dear Leader's vibrator.
Give her a carrot and make Peter stay at home.
Declare creases cool, give up ironing and let the crumpled look be this winter's fashion statement.
Stop broadcasting parliament.

Replace Labour with a National/ACT government
who will ensure security of electricity supply
for all NZ's productive businesses
and hardworking Kiwis.
I'll do my bit to destroy Labour - I am turning up the heaters, leaving the lights on and making sure my bed is very warm by turning on the electric blanket 4 hours before I go to bed (and leaving it on for a good couple of hours. We are on gas so hot water will be endless. (unlike the peasants in south Auckland, Hutt valley and Christchurch and PSB land in Dunedin.
Labour can go fuck themselves if they think I will make any effort when they have sat on their arses praying (even although they are godless socialists) for rain. I cheered tonight when I saw that very limited rain will fall this week in the Southern catchment and in the Central plateau. The rain gods will not bail out this corrupt government who have kept their head in the sand despite months of warnings about low lake levels.
Off the back of this crisis Labour's support will drop below 25%.
Great stuff Monty. Just hope you don't have shares in those industries that will benefit from cheaper power as a result of the peasants' savings, as Idiot Savant points out.
I favour Monty's idea--let's make sure the lights go out in the run-up to the elections.
And drive home to people just how useless this bunch of socialist/green wankers are.
"...let's make sure the lights go out in the run-up to the elections. And drive home to people just how useless this bunch of socialist/green wankers are."
Er,I suspect people might draw a different conclusion about who are the useless wankers.
