If I couldn't have A/C I would have to move to Alaska. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep in the heat. As far back as I can remember as a kid, I have never been able to go to sleep when it's uncomfortably warm/hot.

As far as paying a higher premium for peak energy consumption times. It COULD come to that if the retards in Washington try to force energies that aren't efficient. I just don't see how it's bad to use EVERY Energy resource we can, in order to keep prices manageable for everyone. That seems like the smarter way to go, then again I don't have any college degree's so what do I know! [frustrated]
