I'd have to leave the south and move back to Wisconsin!

>You have a point! As I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and we enjoy natural air conditioning (fog) you have inspired a thought! All people who use air conditioners shall be penalized. Or we could just ban the damn things! Imagine all those nice folks in Las Vegas and Phoenix where 125 F is no big thing? Then let us see how fast those communities grow!

>With the above thought in mind we must also restrict the number of people living in the Bay Area. We must not have flat land foreigners (people from other areas) moving here!

>How many barrels of oil would be saved if the lights of Las Vegas were turned off permanently? I realize the source of energy for Las Vegas is hydroelectric, but that energy could be placed on the grid and used by many other communities thus saving oil used by oil fired electric generators.
