    I live in Canada and tbh I’m with the Chad on this.

    Not saying “turn off your furnace” but energy use (and cost) baloons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money. It’s not even just about the money, it’sresponsible energy usage.

    And I’d be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that’s gotta be on their dime.

    Same with electricity. I’ll subsidize keeping your lights on but I’m not paying you to mine crypto.
