    I’m lucky it rarely gets hot where I’m at, but when it does, I have to use ac because of a disability that makes it difficult to self regulate. It’ll only be a couple days at most, like this summer passed without needing to use it at all.

      Oh my gosh! I didn’t think of situations like that, so I didn’t mean to make light of the situation. I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m glad you live in a place that doesn’t need much AC though!

        No no I agree with you. The situation is dire, we all need to reduce the footprint by as much as possible.
