plenty left over for industry and infrastructure on the basis they make equivilant reductions in consumption
You keep failing to appreciate that such reductions are a pretty big assumption, given the huge differences in energy usage to domestic.
our net electricity consumption for the month of December was 130kWh. That's 1.4kWh per person per day which dividing by 24h is on average 58W per person being drawn from the grid
There's another couple of your flaws - you're not only assuming everybody is also generating like you (do we really have to rehash why that's just not possible for everybody?), but assuming you only need to supply average, not peak (the times when you're generating and asleep in bed using no power might help the average, but don't do much for the peak).
I just keep providing evidence I'm right.
I suppose it depends what you mean by "evidence". I really cba arguing about this energy utopia of yours any more, so you can carry on thinking that if you like.
On led street lamps, the one outside my parents house has just been changed from a yellow sodium? lamp to an led, and the new light is massively brighter, they really need new thicker curtains in their front bedroom - it lights the whole room if the curtains are open. I assume they wouldn't swap for a higher wattage, so I guess leds are brighter.

It's threads like this that make me wonder if it is actually true.
You know. As in that documentary.
About how the machines, having taken over, are now deriving all their energy from the heat and electricity given off by our imprisoned bodies.
I bet they love threads like this. Do machines have immersion heaters?
Ha, zokes is here now too. Where's Zulu or Graham the nuke fan
I was here all the way back up there^^^ In fact, I insinuated that the thread might be a bit longer, if a lot less worthwhile, if you and TJ joined in. I was clearly correct.
