"Damn Govenor, It's cold in here!"
Good Morning Wisconsin Conservative Politics Ping List Members!
Please put on your sweaters and turn down your thermostats. Or take off your clothes and turn UP your thermostat, LOL! Your choice. ;)
Let the blue states freeze :^)
No drilling, no warmth.
I have no problem with lower the thermostat as long as I get to wear sweats and bulky sweaters to work. If I still have to be professional, forget it.
Not that there should be, mind you.
Wonder when the FEDS will get with the same energy saving program they're pushing at the rest of us? (68 in winter/78 in summer -- which MY home has been observing for a decade or more).
(Pause)
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
wisgov?????????????????????????????? Sounds kinky!
We keep our house at 68 because that's the most comfortable temperature. 72 is like a sauna.
Wonder what this does to Wisconsin CBRF HFS-83 code which requires a minimum of 70 degrees?? Anyone know??
Some years ago a national figure suggested turning down the thermostat. I turned ours down to seventy two and the damned air conditioner ran almost all winter long.
I keep mine at 65 and use an electric space heater for the animals. Luckily in Indiana, our electricity comes from coal, so it hasn't gone up. Unfortunately, my furnace is natural gas.

I worked for state government during the 1970s and had to endure freezing offices, half of the fluorescent lights removed from the fixtures in government buildings and driving a maximum of 55 mph in my state car. What paltry savings in energy that resulted was far offset by lowered productivity. For example, going to a meeting that could be done in a single day's trip at the posted speed limit required at least additional meals if not an overnight stay at 55 mph.

I have to keep my system set at 72 any lower and the air conditioner runs.
Hang out in AZ. High today = 82 deg.
We'll be out on the patio. Let yourself in, the iced tea is in the fridge for you.
Bracing? Ha. In my pajamas and the house is at... (goes & checks)... 62F. (Who turned it up?)
What a lying, shady character we have for a Gov.
I was too warm most of today, so I wouldn't mind dialing down the thermostats. However, we think the 7 or so in our office are "dummies" to keep us from calling Building Maintenance. We've quit complaining about the temp - I'm usually too warm, the rest of the gang is usually too cold. All BM does is install a new thermostat! At least, that's all we can see them doing.
You mean Democrats haven't been following Jimmy Carter's Solomonic admonition
to keep the thermostats low in winter and high in summer?
Just another added chapter for that new book "Do As I Say, Not As I Do"
about liberal hypocrisy.
