I would rely on the light from the tv.

I guess I'd put it all on heat and air conditioning. I can do without (and have) everything but when I am hot, all my energy leaves me and I don't want to do ANYTHING.

Refrigerator and freezer first, then lights, air-conditioner, computer, radio, TV, and whatever else is left.

I would try and follow the ways the Amish use to the full extent that I could. I would use have a gas stove and I would use candles or battery-operated lamps for lighting purposes. For heat, I would also use gas or a fireplace.

Light (too many cats to use candles) and hot water.

First priority would be the electric pump for the well. Then power for the other servants--the electric stove, the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner. Then light for reading.....

Lights will be first. You need to see. Then electricity for cooking. I would nto consider electricity for a tv or radios. Just the necessary things.

Light. I can't deal without light. My eyes are bad enough already; and I could never give up reading. I am dependent on light for my studies. Music I can create on my own; TV I don't watch.

Computers/internet first! *grins*

Something like..... environment control to prevent extremes, keeping food cold / cooking food, lighting, other

Interesting question... I'd never thought about it. I guess I'd keep the lights out most of the time, watch very little TV (don't watch much as it is) and save it for things like the heater and AC.

All of my appliances that deal with food- refrigerator, stove, etc.- would have top priority. Then, heating/cooling, lighting, and everything else, in that order.

The top users would be the laundry machine, hot water heater, and refrigerator. I think everything else can be limited
Ryan,

Household appliances (stove, fridge, washer), reading and heating/cooling (I have supplemental gas heat, so that doesn't come first).
