This plug socket tells you if your energy is green

On the continue when power fails, I bought a new Defy washing machine, which actually will carry on the cycle when the power fails, and comes back. What can I say other than "Designed in South Africa", where rotational load shedding is a way of life, and water shedding is also really common. Currently the city i live in is no longer getting load shedding, mostly because more than half the electric grid just was taken out by a cyclone that moved through, and thus the city is already well down in power consumption. Unfortunately also massive damage as well, and if you were expecting a RHD Toyota in the next 3 months, sorry, they are all under 1m or so of water, along with most of the Toyota assembly line.

My Bosch dishwasher is the same. It remembers after a power cut to automatically resume. The Indesit washing machine on the other hand does not.

What if we made 60Hz be dirty power and then run 45Hz green power and put band reject filters on everything? Or run DC and AC and put coupling caps on stuff. That might work.

what would be the point? as long as there isn't more green power than the total need for power, you using green power just means more "non-green" power needs to be generated to meet demands

The point is to pretend we are doing something good.
