Comment on How do Texas residents afford electricity?

  Where?! Austin?! Haha. Just stop. Our lows are in the high 80’s on a good day in the summer!

  Also, you can’t just turn off your AC when there’s cloud cover and easily get your house cooled back down when the sun comes back out. It takes a great deal of energy and an over-powered HVAC system to cool a house quickly.

  I’m not sure what you are doing right now. Like, is your goal to try to convince me, a resident of this place whi has tried for years to afford a solar system, to embrace a solar solution? I already want one. If you know of a vendor in south Texas that can install what’s needed to keep me and my family alive when the power goes out for the low prices you claim, please let me know who they are and I will call them! Until then, I will just have to make do with my 24kw Generac natural gas generator that can run everything when the power goes out.

    You know i can look up weather online right? Im in Mississippi, im all too familiar with humidity and muggy nights, ive lived without AC in the summer, i know its not comfortable temps at night, or during cloud cover. But its much lower temps than midday sun and the AC has to run a lot less to maintain desired temps.
