Those figures would put bc hydros system at 75% capacity. I’d say he is not an asshole. He is having no negative impact on other residents well being. Nursing homes and hospitals are not running out of power. BC gets its power from water flowing through turbines so it’s not like trucks of coal are being burnt to support tegra devils basement mining operation.

Record breaking electricity consumption will continue to be a thing with electrification of transportation, population growth. The site c dam coming online with the push to convert oil and gas plants to electric drivers vs natural gas. Just because an article reports record breaking electricity use doesn’t tell the whole story.
