Wonderful work - BRAVO ❤️
How many Grid Managers does it take to screw in 170000 lightbulbs?

One and an awful lot of time
Meera, also look into adding capacitance in to systems with heavy loads from motors and compressors. They claim it save as much as 15% of usage. Even in three phase systems. Air conditioners and refrigeration tax the grid more than any other appliances especially in the summer. And if we can evolve fuel cell technology, we can really make a difference!
Is That mia Khalifa mother?

The reason why everyone has their windows open in the winter is cause they have radiators with heat output that the resident can not control putting out tons of heat. Turn that shit down a notch!

Landon Michael, the steam radiators I have seen has a valve on them. Is this not the case?

In the office buildings in which I worked when I was in the D.C. area, we were not allowed to adjust the temperature levels. The thermostats were even locked in boxes. I came up with an idea. The air/conditioning /heating systems only know what their sensors tell them. Trick the sensors and we get what we want. So when things became warm, I would place a cup of hot water normally used to make tea below the thermostat to trick the centralized heating/air conditioning system into thinking it was extremely hot in my sector and the computers would make what it thinks are the necessary adjustments.
You have to appreciate the scope of their work: Her team relieved the grid of 19 megaWatts by giving away LED bulbs. A quick Google search suggests a 15w LED can replace a 100w incandescent. 19 megaWatts divided by 15 Watts per LED equals 1,266,666 LEDs just given away in 1 year. That means they would have to replace 3,470 bulbs a day. Wow!
good thinking
Stay positive
The reason men clicked on this video : - Wanted to know more about new york power grid : 1% - Mia Khalifa : 99%

Oh... oh :)
She apparently relieved 19 megawatts from the system, well the system uses over 40,000 megawatts per year so that is about 0.05% ... and she says that that is major?
That thumbnail 😂 Half of her left legg is missing.
I've always thought it would be impossible, guess not.
People would be more careful about wasting energy if it were more expensive
hi NGC...
I quickly looked at the thumbnail and I thought it was Mia.
her instagram is private
She looks like Mia Khalifa with those glasses on

Lt. Feltersnach She probably don't know Mia Khalifa as we guys do, but as soon that she runs Google with that name after reading the comments, ending up on PornTube or other extrem online porn site, I could imagine her face. And I don't think she will like it

I just clicked cause I thought it was Mia Khalifa lol
Mia is that you?
great. copy ideas from great Indian prime minister Narendra Modi. Who already started this transformation from 2014 and eliminated almost more then 40 million tons of carbon emission already by just using LED and still 50% part is left to do and then it will eliminate almost double carbon emission.
Mia Khalifa? Yup, that is the reason i open this video...
