Managing your energy grid.

When the totality of what a City Energy Manager is responsible for doing is taken into consideration, we share much in common. Like them, we assess how much energy is needed; whether we have the resources to meet this demand and more importantly whether we generate enough energy to meet peak demands. This is the focus of this blog post. Fatigue is a major symptom of Multiple Sclerosis with an estimated 60% of individuals with the disease plagued by it. Most people take the characteristics described above for granted. If we don't have enough energy to meet the demand we simply eat more or for a short term boost drink an energy drink like a Red Bull. I would take shortcuts burning the proverbial candle on both ends. I would burn far too much energy and try to use a candy bar or energy drink as a substitute for a good source of energy. In wasn't until I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis that I really began to take seemingly simple tasks into account. I like to cook. The way that the dishes are distributed in the cabinets along with spices makes it virtually impossible to do this simple task. Even something as simple as standing at the stove and sautéing a meal requires thought about options for conserving energy like sitting on a bar stool. "Yeah, that's it Marcus! Get a bar stool and sit on that!" Well my friend, it takes energy to get the bar stool...time for a brownout.
