Quoting: Revbo™ Whoever came up with this nonsense is out of his mind. I can see the state coming up with mandatory compliance devices that assign households limits based on heating and cooling usage, to be part of ones social credit status!

I won't. 82 is hot. DiCaprio can give up all the luxuries he wants. He could start sleeping in a tent next to the bums on Skid Row for all I care. My thermostat stays where it is.

Would having your heat cranked that high be adding to their "Climate Change". Wouldn't they want it set colder to use less fossil fuels to heat the house???? |

Looks as if they've backed off due to rampant complaints but have the new setting at 78 degrees, which is still pretty warm. |

Even with a fan blowing right on me. Supposedly, the ideal sleeping temperature healthwise is in the 60s. I think it's 68, but it might be 62. So, Nanny State wants you to: -Eat your GMOs and Frankenplant protein burgers -Drink your BPA/estrogenic and prescription drug and Fluoride-laden water -Be bombarded by wifi and who knows what else -Sleep at a temperature about 20 degrees hotter than optimal -Take prescription drugs that keep you going just long enough for profit, but never actually be cured I'm sure there are more rules I'm forgetting on being a good little world citizen. But if you follow them, you might get to the ripe age of 55 before cancer strikes you, which is fine, since it just makes for more profit off of you. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41173011 Why even bother? Of course, the setting that doesn't require much energy is going to be the most efficient. I've had days where my AC needed servicing, and even with it turned off, the temperature in the house doesn't get higher than 82 in 95+ degree weather. It would be like being asked what is the most efficient setting for a light bulb, and answering, "Off." John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
