Yeah, this is the next logical idea as the UK pushes so much “green” energy and gets rid of oil, gas, natural gas, coal, and nuclear
So, hey, I wonder if any reporter will ask Starmer if he turns most of his appliances off at night?
Pubs may risk serving warm beer by switching off fridges overnight to cut energy bills
Pubs could risk serving warm beer by switching off bottle fridges overnight to cut energy bills.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has launched an advice tool he believes will help ease rising costs for Britain’s ailing hospitality businesses.
It encourages firms to reduce unnecessary electricity use by turning off bottle fridges overnight and to monitor hotspots such as extraction systems, ovens and lamps.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “There are a host of appliances that you simply cannot turn off, many for health and safety reasons. So it is not just help with reducing eye-watering energy bills that the beer and pub sector needs the Government to help with but the overall cumulative costs of doing business including disproportionate tax bills.”
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero claimed the government-funded carbon-reduction tool had saved trial participants £48-a-week. It hopes to expand the trial to 525 more businesses.
They’re trying to link this to the Iran war, but, consider that Britain has vast reserves of petroleum just offshore. They also get a lot from Libya (remember, that’s why Obama helped France and the UK with the war in the way back). It’s all the “alternative” energy in the UK that’s the problem, and that their are wackjob Warmists running things in the UK government.
Anyhow, good luck when the peasants revolt over warm pints.
It’s an old joke: why do the British drink warm beer? Because Lucas Electric makes their refrigerators! Having once owned a 1978 MGB, with Lucas Electric wiring, I get the joke.
As my Scottish friend says: “We drink room temperature beer, but room temperature there is 55 degrees.”
I’m helping the UK with energy conservation. Wife and I are going on a very long EU vacation visiting 6 countries. We won’t go England, it’s to dangerous.
That means you avoid Heathrow Airport, a good thing, but you could go to London, and the Kings Cross station, see Platform 9¾, and then take the Chunnel to Paris.
There are websites dedicated to Lucas Electric jokes.
One has to wonder if the added electrical load in the mornings to cool things back down will more than make up for any electricity saved during the time the refrigeration is shut off and everything warms back up.
I suppose it will depend on how well insulated they are. If shutting things off at night really saves much, it suggests they aren’t well insulated at all.
Relax! CO2 will continue to increase – the piecemeal efforts are meaningless.
The Iranian-Israeli War offsets any reductions in CO2 emissions elsewhere! LOL
Your great-great grandkids will wonder how you could do nothing. Maybe God will fix it.
Oddly again Rimjob has nothing substantial to add.
Maybe it’s the loneliness that’s getting to him.

“Starmer wants pubs to…”
What a fricking moron!
