Guardian provides us with a peculiar headline
"UK households to be urged to use more power this summer as renewables soar". No, we don't want to use *more* power, we want to move our usage to times when the grid isn't being powered by fossil fuels!
"Under the new plans, people could be encouraged to run dishwashers and washing machines or charge up their electric vehicles when there is more wind and solar power than the electricity grid needs."
