See, you're exactly the kind of person I'm talking about. Hydro Quebec will have to invest a fortune to create more infrastructure because of people like you. Our population is wasting about 25TWh at the moment and instead of pushing people to be fucking responsible with their energy usage, HQ will have to reduce their royalties to the government (that are used to pay for services to the population) in order to invest in the creation of wind turbine parks and guess what, that means we'll have to pay more taxes or everyone's hydro bill will increase to compensate for the little shits like you and there will be a huge environmental impact because contrary to what you morons believe we don't just pull the materials necessary to build wind turbines out of our ass.
So you wasting energy on that crap will have a direct impact on my own wallet so fuck you. You don't give a fucking crap about the environment, stop pretending you do.
First, I use Hydro Sherbrooke.
Second, I spend a total of around 30$ each month in electricity. Probably not as bad as you think.
Third, I work in tech and AI is an obvious part of my work.
Fourth, if my energy consumption triggers you that much, get a life bro.
Hydro Sherbrooke can only sell at the same rate as Hydro Quebec, doesn't make a difference what provider you use.
