Hey, mum, tonight, and it's not because you're an environmentalist, by the way.

I mean, I don't know actually whether she is.

But because she is definitely a bargain hunter.

If I said to my mum, tonight, they're turning on diesel generator to meet your needs.

She'd say, well, I'll just cook later.

Right?

For her, that is a no, it's no effort.

Absolutely.

And so we introduced this program in the UK where we paid people a small sum of money to shift their consumption at peak times.

And I think 100, no, 1.6 million households signed up.

And on average, more than half of them would participate.

All we had to do was text them, sometimes just a few hours beforehand, saying tonight, earn a little bit of money.

I mean, literally, I don't know, 50 cents by shifting your demand by an hour.

And what we got was the equivalent of turning off all of the electricity in two major cities.

I mean, you can afford to buy it with the money you save.

Yeah, there's one customer tweeted me.

He said that he charged his car for £1.90.

It's like $2.50 or something, right?

Yeah, exactly.

And we'll be able to do 200 or 300 miles on it.
