> but most people tend to believe that that won't happen because we live in a reasonable world.
A company is giving away money for you to sign up and the reasonable thing is to assume it will never happen?

The only reasonable expectation is that it will happen, just like the comment said.

Do you guys realize that the alternative to things like this soon may be a blackout with much harsher consequences at some point?
Soon we won't have those fixed prize contracts anymore anyway, and it is then again up to your full control to spend your full month salary for AC on a hot day in crisis times..
Forget enforced conservation or blackouts, I choose a reliable power grid, obviously, and that means ditching worthless renewables and building out proven technology.
People who are sensitive to heat may need to cool down and 78 deg may not be cool enough.
My wife is particularly sensitive to heat, as in hospitalization is possible if she gets over heated for too long. She very easily triggers heat stroke symptoms. And some days in the summer it's "run the AC full blast" whatever the temperature is set at.
Sometimes that's even when we are down to 73 thermostat temp. Usually not that low but it has happened. 78 is frequently enough, but not always, many factors are involved.
I won't touch this tech with a 10 foot pole. We require full control of the environmental controls.
