All electric homes make hot water in the night, when demand is low and rates are cheap, and store it in a tank. Such homes are very good for nuclear industry because they absorb baseload in the night (nuclear plants can hardly adjust their output to match a variable load).<br />IH cooking tables look cool and they are also useful to enhance your basic electricity fees because you need more installed power. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, for hot water pots, rice cookers, electric ovens: at full power they all use a lot of electricity and you tend to need all of them just before dinner time.<br />By the way, if you put the right proportion of water and rice in a plain pan (!) you can cook excellent Japanese-style rice without any rice cooker; it is easy, after a little training even technology spoiled Japanese ladies can do it. The right proportion is just a little more water than rice, in volume.<br />BeppeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-87056615694901803982013-03-26T07:47:41.224-07:002013-03-26T07:47:41.224-07:00I wonder how the invitees to these parties feel no...I wonder how the invitees to these parties feel now.

We also know that heavy industry are the ones pushing for the nuclear reactor restarts, as even Kyodo reported. As for global warming, we have cliimate-gate, where top scientists were caught rigging the data - blatant fraud! Al Gore? Give me a break, the guy is the biggest huckster of all time, except for Dick Cheney. Whether AGW is scientifically true or not (many good minds dispute it, but I am not in favor of air and water pollution from heavy use of coal and oil), the reality is that no policy even comes close to reducing CO2 by what would be needed even by their own targets. So while the science of CO2 causing climate change is highly debated, the policy is just out there to scam taxpayers yet another way with the carbon tax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-17266734819921117752013-03-25T15:55:23.894-07:002013-03-25T15:55:23.894-07:00This is so low of TEPCO it deserves an AMOEBA awar...This is so low of TEPCO it deserves an AMOEBA award.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-9989306140418729992013-03-25T15:01:07.312-07:002013-03-25T15:01:07.312-07:00Global warming may be real to some degree, but I d...Global warming may be real to some degree, but I doubt it's caused by all the things they claim. Those people are just pushing their personal agenda, using global warming as an excuse.<br /><br />It's like how they keep whining about caring for the environment and forcing crap onto us, while they dump toxic waste on it.<br /><br />Anyway, I think the point is that there's a lot of stuff we don't really need that's not worth the long term negative consequences. It's a shame hardly anyone cares about those. If you offered most people $1 to do something that could destroy the world in 100 years, they would probably do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-77418040400174395412013-03-25T14:39:46.304-07:002013-03-25T14:39:46.304-07:00Even though I, for one, believe global warming is ...Even though I, for one, believe global warming is quite real, I'm still disgusted by how far "big money" goes to play us for fools and to make even bigger money. Nothing wrong with making big money, nothing wrong with using any and all information to making even bigger money.
