Tonight ist "earth hour", that yearly event where people turn off their electric lights for an hour. Most stupid thing ever imo. Causes load changes on the grid, likely increasing overall carbon footprint, and sends the false message that saving energy means sitting in the dark.
There are many options (many of course depending on things like geography), but burning softwood pallets that are regrown at the rate they are harvested is imo a pretty attractive option for the short term future. In the long term: solar farms and high-voltage DC transmission.
