If you are a tumble drier user, you evidently care little for the environment - or live in a flat. Fresh air is the way to dry clothes - it's worked for thousands of years.
Very occasionally appliances catch fire and, unless detected early, a conflagration destroys all. Cleaning filters etc usually prevents this. Alternatively a smoke detector for a few ££ eliminates the risk - although you need to invest in batteries every few years!
The proposition that using energy intensive appliances outside peak demand periods makes a lot of sense. It reduces costs for everyone as peak load and thus investment and spare capacity is minimised.
