Power blackouts- why not during the day? *MNHQ editing to say this has become a more general power outage chat*

I’ve been reading about the proposed plan for power blackouts and they’re saying 4-7 on week days. Why then? Surely longer blackouts during the day, when we don’t need lights and kids are at school and most people are at work would be better? Or even 10pm-6am when most people are sleeping? Or is it because we don’t use much electricity then, so they’re picking peak times? I just don’t understand why those specific times? does anyone know?

Hi all,
We've heard from the OP, she's worried that it was a daft question and would like the thread pulled, however we are refusing because a. no such thing as a daft question and b. come on, we were all thinking it. My first thought was 'BUT THE INTERNET!' (seriously. what will happen re modems?)
Anyway so we are leaving this thread, but will tweak the title a bit, and hopefully we can all help each other out with suggestions for how to occupy children in the dark and best card games to play by candlelight. W reckon this is where the campers will feel veeeery smug.
