Wait... WTF? Dummies are using AC? The same dummies that chide use for our energy wasting lifestyle?
Lessee here... I'm supposed to walk to work, live in a cave, and the dummie has AC in the summer and (one assumes) heat in the winter?
The solution to your problem dummie is shut the AC off entirely and pitch a tent in your back yard. You get nice cool breezes that way. Live what you preach or shut your fat pie hole!
