Haven't seen 69 since we were in Chicago a month ago.

73.  69 for sleeping. 

Wow. That's keeping a cold house to me!

For us it's seasonal. We don't heat the house in the winter, so the nights can be a little chilly, since we always leave the bedroom window at the very least cracked open a bit. 

In the summer, we tend to keep the AC up in the 78 range just due to cost. While sleeping, that's barely tolerable to me. A lot of nights I'll sleep on top of the covers. 

But hey, you want to talk about cold? At the fraternity house in college, we had what we called a "cold air dorm". Our rooms in the house were for studying / hanging out, and we had a big bunk room on each of the living floors. It was call "cold air" because we would leave several windows open, even in the middle of winter. I think the idea was that it'd be too cold for germs lol. But it would absolutely get down into the 30s in there in the winter. That was a cold house to sleep in

We rarely need the heat in the "winter" here. A couple of mornings at wake up, to take the edge off, but that's really about it.

Probably ran it 10 times since we've been here. Heat costs about 5X more than AC.

You'd have a hard time running the AC 76-78 deg F here due to the humidity.  Even if it's showing 76 deg, it will be humid because it's just not running enough hours to get the humidity out.  I think we keep ours at maybe 76 deg on really hot days, as long as it runs damn near continuously, and on less hot days we bring it down to 74-75. 

It's humid here, trust me. Dew point right now is at 74.

And yeah, with it set at 76 it runs almost constantly.

Inside humidity here at our place is normally about 45-50 percent.

More whining.  Still no plan.  At all.

There's a plan. It's quite simple, actually. It's just not one anyone will actually do, or quite frankly SHOULD do, so it's moot. 

I don’t see a plan as I think of plans.

The plan is simple. Simply stop burning carbon for let's say everything except food production and distribution. 

I mean, the effects of the plan would be atrocious. Our modern world economy would grind to a halt. Billions would be impoverished. It would be hell. 

But it would stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere. It would be an effective plan.

I didn't say it was a good plan BTW 

I have never seen that proposal.

That's because nobody in power would ever say that out loud.
