Anna in a loin cloth would be ok

A prominent journalist doesn't just want our air conditioners turned down. He wants them off. This is the sort of nonsense we're getting from the anti-energy, global-warming-is-making-us-sick left.
Time's Joe Klein probably thought he was being clever when he wrote his late June essay on the evils of cooling headlined "Kill Your Air Conditioner." Instead, he wrote yet another chapter in the left's book of environmental silliness.
"The unnecessary refrigeration of America has become a chronic disease," said Klein. "Air conditioning is bad for the planet, and for national security, and for our balance-of-payments deficit."
The drive-by (in an SUV, with the A/C blazing and the windows down)) media needs a vacation on Planet Gore.
F’n moonbats.
He won't make it.
Well, at the moment the temperature inside my home is 86 degrees. Productivity is out of the question. I have turned on the air conditioner for the first time today, waiting until the peak work hours demand was over and now I am going to cool off to a balmy 78 degrees without guilt. Let those who preach this kind of stuff start first. I’d love to see our wonderful hypocritical celebrities and pundits and assorted whackos start with themselves: Turn off your air conditioners, recycle your autos, retire your hot water heaters and water softeners and refrigerators. Toss out those hair straighteners and blow dryers, forget the irons and computers, microwaves, blenders and toasters. Foreswear airplanes, cruise ships, subways and mass transet. Quit your gyms and health clubs, drain your pools and stay away from all fast foods and restaurants. Return to the life of the caveman or cavewoman and then tell me if it works for you. Bet you couldn’t even survive a week without your conveniences.
When Al Gore can tell the U.N. that cigarette smoking is a significant factor contributing to global warning, and liberals don’t even blink, you know what’s at the end of the road they want to take us down.
Now the greenies are trying to start the whole thing over with a new generation who are too young to remember.
I’ve followed these whackjobs for about 5 years and they truly believe we will be living like primitives because of Peak Oil, climate change (iow, whatever that means from one day to the next), die-off due to peak oil and climate change, and whatever nasty apocalypse they can also think of to provide self-gratification (yes, I do mean that) for their miserable selves.
I can only say that in the Kingdom of San Francisco after this all falls down, the Boy Scouts will be the only ones who survive. They know how to make fire.
Seriously. I’ve read rants about not being able to make fire because we won’t know how to make matches. (STOP laughing! It isn’t funny. These people are scaring themselves into fetal positions)
Or how we won’t know how to make glass. Peak silicon or something like that. They have scads of hysteria about Peak Ancient Sunlight, and Peak Rare Metals, and Peak Food.
All of them are performing a mental masturbation with all this hysteria.
THIS is how to wear a loin cloth !
To paraphrase Chrissy Matthews, Anna gives a thrill up my leg.
First they tell us not to warm the planet and now they’re telling us not to cool it. Sheesh.
Or Tucson
Idiot. Less than 1% of our electricity-generating capacity comes from imported sources.
Here we go again...

There's not a whole lotta loin being covered there.
Exactly!
Remember a few years ago when many elderly died of heat in Europe during power outages?
