We should use less electricity and If we do use it don't use it often. So we could stop climate change!

rather to use only what we really need

Hello, this needing to reduce electricity usage is true but very hard.

Take a phone. When it's plugged in it's drawing on average 20 watts, depending on the phone and charging brick. So if you charge it overnight that's a lot of watts. Electric cars are responsible for this as well. When you drive in something like a Tesla, you are constantly using a lot of energy driving to your destination and even more to a special Supercharger, which 99% of the time is not on the route. Then, to kill time in the half hour that it spends charging, your phone will be used again. All of this means that countries like Britain are only producing 20% more energy than they use, from already massive power stations. Electricity is also needed to produce these cars and phones, especially the cars, most which require rare earth materials in their batteries which essentially hurt the Earth even more than if you use a gas car. The saved emissions that an electric car brings along is nowhere near enough to substitute. Substitutes for electricity such as wind power are more expensive and less efficient, plus the transition period will be extremely painful for most businesses because their production machines will depend in some way on electricity. The additional jobs created will not be able to make up for the loss of jobs that electricity's replacement will displace. Also, the existing power lines will have to be dug up and replaced, causing more damage. Nearly everything today depends on some form of electricity, and efforts can certainly be made to reduce usage. But until we find a viable replacement, completely siphoning every drop of electricity is away is not the answer.
