It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.

    Yea, I used to clean the windows in office buildings and we'd go into a completely empty floor and all the lights would be on and the heat or A/C would be blasting. Then I'd be downtown at 4am shoveling snow and I'd look up and all the inside lights in those empty office buildings were still on.
    Then we'd get a notice to help conserve energy at home.

    Take this with a grain of salt because I have 0 knowledge, but Ive read that they do that to balance the grid. Power used at night is not an issue but home usage during peak hours is what cracks the grid.

    I've been told that before and I guess it makes sense, but maybe after the offices have been abandoned for over a year they could turn off the lights and lower heat -a/c on those floors during the day so the grid would have more capacity for residential.
