I was outside having a cigar and beer(s) and I heard my neighbor's AC unit kick on. Dam climate controlled people! How will these people ever survive when the terrorists take control of your AC!

Mine is on now, cause I have a 2-month old and we were out all day with the house closed. When I walked in tonite, it was 81 on the 1st floor, and 83 on the 2nd floor. 1st floor AC is off now, the 2 bedroom units are on, and I'm hanging in the basement with the fan and a Yuengling.

I was just going to say Absolutely, but I decided to get some fresh air into my room. I'll probably have the a/c on Fan later. This is the first summer in my life (20yrs) that I have my own A/C unit in my window. Before then the Central never made it to my room upstairs.

It got down to 65 last night so there was no reason for anyone to have AC turned on. Our house was 85 upstairs when I got home at 7:30 and some window fans got the temp back down to 75 within 3 hours. It was 70 upstairs this morning. Later this week it's supposed to go down into the upper 50's a couple of nights. I just find it amazing that people are so clueless to weather conditions and just leave things turned on and waste energy for no reason other than their own laziness. Then they complain about gas prices!  I walked my dog around the block late last night and there wasn't a single house with windows open other than ours! This really is scary that people are so climate controlled. Is this our future???

solar power would be beneficial for someone who uses alot of energy. someone like jeff, who is smart with energy conservation, would see little use for solar power.

That is the exact attitude that I'm trying to point out. We do not have an endless supply of energy and we need to stop wasting it. Running AC when it's under 75 degrees is a complete waste unless the humidity is at 99%. The side effect is that all the kids nowadayz are addicted to their climate controlled houses and can't go out if the temp isn't between 72-75. You kids are supposed to be creating a better future and instead you're already draining our energy supplies faster than we did!
Let's see who remembers this one!

the temp up here never got anywhere near 65 even at night. I have an outdoor thermostat and it is currently 81 out. Not really comfortable for sleeping.
I hate being hot and sticky and I keep my a/c on all day long even when I'm not home. I love coming in to a nice 65 degree home. Taking a nice cool shower and then relaxing in front of the boob tube.
i don't have central air I have window units so I even put on one in the bedroom and one downstairs, I'm so generous I even give the animals their own a/c and let it run all day as well.
Just so I don't have to sweat I go out to my car 5 min before i have to leave and turn it on with the a/c on full blast as well. I'm planning on getting a remote start so I don't even have to go outside.
Ahhh, the convenience and comfort of a nice cool home nothing like it in the world.

sorry dude, but if im hot im turning the A/C on. there's no way around it. I can however sleep in the cold and even if temperature goes below 0 C i still dont care. so how about no one uses heaters now cuz some of us dont really need it?

That's the point. If you waste energy when it's comfortable out, you might not have that energy when you really need it! Extreme heat won't kill you like extreme cold will. If most people had the option of being allowed to use heat during the winter or AC during the summer, which would they pick? Heat of course. I'm not saying to never turn the AC on, but most people turn it on in May and let it run until Nov. Last night it got down to 60 degrees agarin with no humidity. Why would anyone leave their AC on and their house closed up? A complete waste of energy. It's not a matter of cost, it's a matter of limited natural resources. This generation should know much better than my generation about conserving energy but apparently not. But don't worry, Al Gore is watching you and he knows exactly how many kilowatts you have wasted!
