This reminds me of a story that circulated during the 2001 CA energy
crisis.
Someone figured out that a nontrivial percentage of the load experienced
during the peak summer hour was due to electric clothes dryers. The fact
that this coincided with the hottest/sunniest hour of the year in CA--a
rather low humidity place in summer--struck many of us at the time as
symptomatic of the (demand side) problems the State was experiencing.
