What, we've all got to burn in global warming hell so you can run your
AC all summer?!?

Yup. I must get round to installing a wind turbine pretty soon.

Solar panel might be better, or buy a smallholding and plant a load of
trees.

And I have always been firmly pro nuke. So that sorts a major source of
your global warming.

What make AC do you have BTW?

It's one of the numerous identical Japanese jobs. A bit over 6kW of lovely
installed Mitsubishi cooling power. It's been going well for about 5 uears
now.

6kW is a hell of a lot if it's just one room, if so then there must be
a lot of solar gain or radiating surfaces.

Also it's probably a bit out of date compared to modern japanese kit.

Whatever ghastly furnace is going on outside, it stays a nice comfy 21
indoors - despite all the heat-emitting electronics all over the house.

Was 32ish in here Friday, but it didn't feel /that/ hot though. Got a
couple of laptops (nice n quiet) and a couple of TFTs, so can't be
more than 100w tops.

cheers,
Pete.
