Transcript excerpt

Can never get my son to relax before good, so now I'm building him something insane to use his craziness to reduce our household energy usage, and here's how you can too. I'm a BGE customer, and I don't know about you, but this is the hottest summer I can remember. We've been racking up those high usage alerts, and it's reminded me that Camden needs to start earning his rent. I mean, I took BGE's what uses most survey, and you wouldn't believe how long Camden would have to work to make a difference in our energy usage. So I built him this as a fun way to teach him he better never touch my thermostat when he's older, and honestly, you should try it too.
