Bill de Blasio warns New Yorkers on raising A/C too high during brutal heat wave
New York Daily News ^ | 07/31/2015 | BY JENNIFER FERMINO

It was so hot Wednesday that City Hall issued a 24-hour heat advisory warning people to stay indoors — but officials also cautioned against blasting the A/C.

New Yorkers should keep their air conditioners at 78 degrees to help reduce the risk of blackouts, Mayor de Blasio said.

“If the air conditioning is set at 78 degrees, people are safe and they will be able to deal with the hot temperatures,” he said.

A 75-degree setting uses 18% more electricity, and a 72-degree setting uses 39% more, he said.

The city’s fragile power grid was already showing signs of strain with over 1,000 blackouts in Brooklyn. Most had power restored within a few hours.

Meanwhile DeCommio and his family, being members of the ruling Politboro, stay cool at 68, no doubt.

I have some choice words for the mayor, but I’m trying to keep my cussing to a minimum.

“New Yorkers should keep their air conditioners at 78 degrees to help reduce the risk of blackouts, Mayor de Blasio said.”

Hmm...I seem to remember a certain ah, fellow traveler once telling us we couldn’t heat our homes at 72 degrees during the winter anymore, and then promptly kept his taxpayer-funded digs at 76.

Methinks DeBlabbio will stay nice and cool in his office and taxpayer-funded home.

Meanwhile, Al bore, babs streisand, the mayor, etc, will all continue living in their 10,000 square foot homes, while also cooling the rest of their properties, flying in private 747s, and creating a massive carbon footprint.

But they want me, living in the only property I own, in a house less than 1/3 of theirs, they want me to sweat in my house.

Got it.

Obama got a pass for that. Obama’s shill at the time, Robert Gibbs, explained that Obama is from Hawaii and likes it warm. So then that story of the White House being hested to such a high tempersture went awway with no liberal outrage expressed.
