? Except you're talking about _seasonal_ differences in sunlight availability.

I'm really glad I'll be able to run my power-hungry electronics like a refrigerator during peak production times, like during the spring!

We'll just have to make sure that people go to the hospital during probably-non-uninterruptible power windows.

Sorry, but you're dealing with human beings and actual society, not a car factory. Leave me out of your plans.

Industrial consumes 1/3 of US electricity. This is about the same amount as residential use. This isn't about your fridge.
