Also, did you miss the part where we have had no rain and 101+ temps for the last 30 days?

Renewal energy is for libtards.lol over 1000 per mWh, I don't pay a thousand for the month... Shouldn't all Texans have solar panel on roof by now?
Renewal energy is for libtards.
All new homes should be required to have solar panels installed. Our energy crises is not imaginary.Renewal energy is for libtards.
Perhaps nuclear waste is not so bad. I hear it can be recycled ♻️ just like plastic bottles can be recycled yet aren'tperhaps a couple more nuclear plants would be a good investment. at least provide a reliable, 24/7 baseload power that also provides the needed freqency stability and inertia a grid needs.

That's why at least in the south most of the houses had 12ft ceilings and lots of windows. Then along came relatively cheap electricity.Maybe Americans are stupid and look for corporate solutions instead of natural solutions like in the old world:
You can use the same principle with house construction.. might not be up to code but will save you a fortune.
As clever as natural solutions of the old world are, they're of limited use for much of the US. Many central and southern US states hit 100 degrees with 50-80% humidity, you can't make that bearable with natural convection alone, you need AC to stay cool.Maybe Americans are stupid and look for corporate solutions instead of natural solutions like in the old world:

Figure on most central cooling systems pulling 5.7kWh [((30*.8)*240)/1000] per hour of operation. It adds up quickly.2,666kWh per month? That's almost 92kWh a day. How many AC units do you have running?
You dou realize we survived without ac for millenia? My parents house is nearly 100 years old, built like a fortress (unlike today's poorly built cracker boxes) and was designed to keep you cool with no AC.Maybe Americans are stupid and look for corporate solutions instead of natural solutions like in the old world:

Houston is currently at 80 degrees at night time and 70% humidity. I would hardly call that "cold". In my opinion that's downright miserable for night time.You dou realize we survived without ac for millenia?

It has a large front and back covered porches, a basement (in Texas!) and a gigantic fan in the attic that sucks in air from outside to keep you cool if the windows are open.
At night it actually used to be be so cold in the middle of summer it was surprising. It would be like sleeping in the back of a truck bed going down the highway at 50MPH.
1930s tech. 😉
That seems a bit high. I live in North Texas near Dallas, where it the temps have been 101+ for over 30 straight days.
I just got my bill for the month of August :
Charge Details - 29 Day Billing Period From 07/20/2023 To 08/18/2023
Energy Charge 2,666 kWh @ $0.085882/kWh 228.96
Oncor Electric Delivery Charges 106.86
Gross Receipts Tax Reimbursement 6.70
Current Charges $342.52
The average price you paid for electric service this month (per kWh) $0.126
You missed the giant ceiling fan part pulling in air through the windows at a high rate of speed all night long part.Houston is currently at 80 degrees at night time and 70% humidity. I would hardly call that "cold". In my opinion that's downright miserable for night time.
Pulling in hot, moist air. Sounds awesome.You missed the giant ceiling fan part pulling in air through the windows at a high rate of speed all night long part.
Sure. You gonna pay for it?perhaps a couple more nuclear plants would be a good investment. at least provide a reliable, 24/7 baseload power that also provides the needed freqency stability and inertia a grid needs.
Did I miss the cold front with dry air coming though? 70% humidity sounds downright pleasant.Houston is currently at 80 degrees at night time and 70% humidity. I would hardly call that "cold". In my opinion that's downright miserable for night time.
We'll either pay for reliable baseload generation or intermittent power.Sure. You gonna pay for it?
Honestly 90% humidity at 80 degrees at 6AM seems a little low for Houston. That's a 77 dew point, which is more in line with how humid our mornings are in San Antonio.Did I miss the cold front with dry air coming though? 70% humidity sounds downright pleasant.
Nope, looking now, tomorrow morning 6-7am low is forecast at 80 degrees for Houston again, at 90% humidity...

Meh you can't run from global warming. Eventually it's going to cause famines in the US turning your state into a shithole like mine is.This summer has been pretty good weather wise, reading this thread it is like paradise.
