-----sorry, this is really important. Particularly because when people are drying or washing their clothes, it is generally at peak demand, and to reduce peak demand means reducing our reliance on gas and fossil fuels. There is an element, but we signed up to a 10% reduction, and we increased our demand by 6%. The big, key plank is that when one asks what the Department did to reach the 10%, it points to the public awareness campaign, which was telling people not to use dryers.
