A talk with my neighbor in Phoenix about his new AC unit really got me thinking
He just installed a huge new air conditioner for his house, which he said uses a ton of power but keeps his place at 68 degrees all summer. I mentioned how that adds to the heat island effect here and spikes energy use, but he just shrugged and said 'comfort comes first, and one person doesn't make a difference.' That stuck with me. Where do you draw the line between personal comfort and cutting back for the bigger picture?

Honestly, my cousin did the same thing with a pool heater and his power bill went nuts. Tbh it's hard to blame people for wanting to be comfortable when it's that hot out. I guess the line is different for everyone.

Ever try a solar cover instead?
