Electricity-use restrictions coming?

Recently, I experimented with the concept of saving home-use
electricity. I decided to plug my TV set in only when I was
about to watch a program or the news. As soon as my viewing
time had ended, I unplugged the set again. I did this for about
60 days and reviewed my power bill hoping for a cost saving.
The two bills I received during this period showed a startling
difference compared to the same period last year. Taking
variations into consideration, conservatively, I saved at least
20%. Since then, I have been turning off my printer, unplug my
toaster and other appliances. One advantage: more money for
coffee at the corner coffee shop, where I wrote this revelation.

What is your experience?
