7. Hasn't that now been disproven as effective?
We just had someone on local television telling us to not do that, because when we come back home and turn the thermostat down, the A/C runs a long time to cool everything back down.

It's my understanding you can turn the A/C up a few degrees while you're gone, but it shouldn't be enough that the A/C runs forever when you return home and lower the setting to normal.

Figures * wouldn't have any concept of energy conservation. I'll bet the White House is kept chilly so * doesn't have sweat stains on his shirts.

8. Exactly right
Even when we go on vacation we never shut the a/c OFF. He knows absolutely nothing about energy conservation.

It pisses him off to be challenged in any way.
