What goes around comes around
Remember those people yesterday who scoffed about turning off their non-essential appliances? The ones who laughed at the idea of turning off the A/C when they were not home?
Well, they now have their appliances and A/C off - because there's no power in northwestern Queens. Well done consumers! Although that shouldn''t bother them so much, because I'm sure their spending a lot less time at home with the R subway line running less frequently and the W suspended to ... northwestern Queens.
Ain't karma a bitch?
Today's item on the 50 Ways to Help Save the Planet is #12 - Play It Cool. Don't place your air conditioner next to a TV, lamp or other appliance that generates a lot of heat. The heat confuses the A/C thermostat, causing the A/C to run longer than necessary. And ... program your A/C to turn on 30 minutes before you get home, for there is no need to air condition your home when there's no one there.
