“Rise up and take to the streets! Let’s run them out of our country!”

Careful mate that could be considered incitement. Or did you not learn after Trump.

Great but I did laugh when you said “thanks to our government” we get a few lightbulbs. That’s like thanking the person that shot you. This government is the problems and if we want to solve this problem permanently, we need to get rid of them and now! Rise up and take to the streets! Let’s run them out of our country!

Have had my water heaters, small ones, on timers for many years now. They shut off at times BEFORE hot water is last needed. Lights are not on if the room is unoccupied though LEDs are nothing compared to the old incandescent bulbs.

What takes power because they need to be on and was not needed in the old Bermuda are security lights, along with security cameras.

What can be cut? Well, Government could eliminate the duty on BELCO fuel. Of course that would require Government to reduce it’s costs. We never hear of that happening.

The single most effective change one can make to lower their monthly belco bill is to install a timer switch on the water heater or turn it on on demand only .
You mention the water heater but I’m surprised you didn’t point this out specifically.
