We're back to manufacturing and business needs. Going to work during 
day shifts focuses daytime usage. I wonder what would happen to power 
needs if there were a 2nd shift approach in more industries. Oh, and 
how about impact on peak hour(s) traffic, both roads and public 
transport? That could also be spread out.

It's sort of like that climate change cartoon sent round today. There 
may be a few other benefits from making some changes.
