Mr Gopalakrishnan I myself had written these words you will produce; consumption is negligible individually; nationwide it is huge; and loss is in every energy; energy loss is a cycle; that you fail to understand; and do you think all the septuagenarians to nano do not know that there is current even after switch off; have you found anything new; you may write many karunanidhi style emails; but your question of watts is only the last stage where the energy and energy loss is in your body 24 by 7 to all over the universe in one form or other; and I have given you annual watts . And do you switch off the main every second and switch on?. If you do so you are living in the North because energy loss will occur outside. That is what I meant. Your lack of thinking is the cause of stupidity. If you don't know pl read. Do not write the same Q and A n times. Thank u KR IRS 241022 NB even by your own standards, you should have answered how do we know which is blank.
