In many other (non-U.S.) countries high-demand items such as water heaters run
off of a second, switched power line that's only energized at night. The
power company benefits from being able to even out their load whereas the
consumer benefits from paying less per kWh than the "regular" power line.


Heating water with electricity is insane. That's rare in the US; most
of us use gas.

But not gasoline I hope ?

Not all properties have gas supplies.
