Natural Heat Energy

In South Africa Eskom, the national electricity supplier ,has been load shedding because it has insufficient generating capacity to meet the demand. As a consequence consumers have been asked to reduce their demand for electricity.

Space heating using electricity is very energy intensive. Thus far even though it is winter with temperatures ranging from 2 degrees at night to 18 degrees during the day I have managed without space heating by dressing very warmly and in the evenings stuffing a hot water bottle under my clothing when I am sitting, like right now, and using a hot bwater bottle in my bed whhen I go to sleep.

I guess the Eskimos never had space heating and just dressed appropriately. We need to apply our minds to develop ways to conserve our own body heat energy which we naturally generate from our food.
