It is called a palindrome:

"A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots Greek πάλιν (palin) "back" and δρóμος (dromos) "way, direction" by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing."

Check the second site below for many examples. Also, third link shows longest palindromes around.

Let me let you in on a dirty little secret. Regardless of how much electricity you or I use, the power plants around the U.S. still generate more or less the same amount of electricity. They have to.... the electricity needs to be on the grid when you wake up at 2:00 a.m. and turn on your light to see your way to the bathroom. It isn't like there is a giant battery somewhere to store excess electricity. If it isn't used it is wasted. If you want to reduce the demand on the grid unplug your refrigerator, and stop using other items with motors. Your lights and computers really don't use that much electricity. Likewise, the lights in supermarkets don't use 1/100 th of the amount of electricity that is used in the stores freezers and coolers. Of the top 50 energy users in the United States, 20 deal with food. (Each of these uses over 1 trillion Btus/year) I guess we could all stop eating food from stores, that would save a lot of electricity.
