I kind of think of it as "water that you can't ever store".
Britain's electrical grid basically fucking dies every day around 6:00 because almost the entire country turns on a fucking kettle. The sheer amperage needed to boil that much water basically drains the fucking grid at max capacity for 10 minutes, and they have to pull as much power from continental Europe as they can just to cover the load.
Then, they have to turn all that shit off. It's a fucking nightmare. All because the brit bongs want their tea at exactly one specific time.
