[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1546275, member: 10963"] the upper flights of multistory houses will also heat up at an accelerated rate. It is not secret that the american infrastructure is pure crap, we are relying and pushing systems way beyond what they are capable of sustaining; systems which were designed and built on a whim a long time ago, and thrown together as need and demand came arise. excellent examples of this are electricity. not to mention the mass power outages in ice storms, even just as of this last two weeks, at the peak hours of the day when its hot, our big screen tv hisses and the picture gets fuzzy because pso cannot sustain the load demand that the tv was built for. then look at our roads, by the time they finish a full expansion of a roadway it typically is ready to be expanded again, and by the time they finish repairing a roadway, the other end of the same roadway is jacked up again, i blame the shotty cheap work that wins the lowest bid for a job, but the fact is we never looked to the possible future demand. even in the stuff that should be easy to predict, we fail. new elementary school went in a few years back out here, the year it opened they had to bring in those prefab trailers for extra class space, and we are talking bringing trailer houses to add classrooms to a BRAND NEW JUST COMPLETED school!. am i going to let them touch our a/c? HELL NO! if you are going to provide a service, you damn well better be ready to meet the demand that you take on. this is not our problem its the energy provider. just because they are in such a minority that we literally have no alternative than generators; does not mean that we should hold them to different standards than anyone else that offers and accepts a paid agreement for service, when they fail to provide said service. just because they are the only service around, they get to decide when we get to power our a/c and when we do not? ********!
