Indeed.
They already have systems that shut down your AC during peak demand periods.
82 degrees might be ok as a sleeping temperature IF that is the heat index (”feels like”) temperature.
In areas like mine, of often high (stifling) humidity, we’ll be taking showers 3-4 times a day, under these “Standards”. So much for conservation.
Thanks. Maybe it’s only on my iPad that the problem happens. The text is about the size of a pinpoint. Then I have to “pinch” th expostulate to zoom it way big to be able to read it.
We all don’t live in the mountains. I did for many years and appreciate the effect. Unfortunately, God Blessed Texas with too few mountains. smile.
I’ve been down that road, President Carter. Stay away from my thermostat and my gas pedal.
The answer? Vote for real conservatives.
OH, yes and the tax goes to pay the enforcers.
Some of which will learn that it is an unhealthy job.
ROFLMAO!!!!
You’re right!!
Imperial Senate LOL
You’re right. Won’t get past home inspection without one but now with smart technology they won’t even have to do that.
SMH
Got to be a misprint. 78/82 is insane hot in the house. When it reaches 70 indoors, in winter, I’m baking. As it is, when the bill arrives, I’m steaming. :(
Yeah thanks but no, I’ll keep it at 68 overnight.
If it ever came to “smart” regulation just keep a small heater under the thermostat, it won’t shut off.
It’s bothered me that A/C’s are set by temperature. Depending on the moisture level, 70 can be stifling, while 80 is quite comfortable. I’ve had to lower my central A/C by a degree or two because the system was just not running enough to remove the water.
Seems to me A/C’s should have a relative humidity selector... humidistat.
The freaks are never satisfied. They crave more and more power to torment the rest of humanity.
Our electric coop is efficiently run and not corrupt. Our rate is 5.8 cents per KWH. I run it as low as I want whenever I want. Screw these government nitwits.
I didn’t want the power comp to put in a smart meter on my home but they did anyway.
I guess this article shows what they are going to set my Temp to in the near future no matter want my wife and I want it to be!
“Can’t wait wit to see the recommended temperature in the winter....”
Citizen, you will be given 1 lump of coal per week and be joyous about it.
All hail the glorious leader AOC.
We’ll return these northern liberals the favor: No winter heat settings above 55 degrees.
Ewww! House-i-tosis!
...Why should I use electric heat to warm my house up in the summer? My air conditioner is an open window.
Live in the deep south sometime
8 Years in New Orleans taught me to appreciate AC
