The idea of turning off appliances remotely seems more of a hassle than a cure. The idea on page two about storing energy in very large battery packs for future use seems more sane. It helps in the respect that solar and wind are intermittant energy producing sources. There are other types of batteries available, such as flow batteries. One such company out of Canada VRB-ESS makes a scalable flow battery that can be from 250KWh storage up to several MWh of storage depending on the amount of power that needs to be stored.

Your powers of concentration are finely honed today, enabling you to focus on something to the exclusion of all else. This is just what you need if you're hoping to make a big dent in your workload or you're doing something very fiddly or detailed. But it's important that you know when to stop, otherwise you might get really weary and lose your effectiveness.
