Do you have a smart meter? They’ll just turn off your power and wait. In August when it’s 100 degrees, you’ll be pulling up your garden yourself. They won’t have to come within miles of your house.

Doubt it. I didn’t use my airconditioner last year. I did have a fan. I have been saving some money and soon will have a fan that runs on batteries and ability to recharge batteries with solar power.

Also have the schematics for producing and storing electricity using a bicycle. I read just the other day where some student has designed a fan that can be charged by hand cranking, and is maybe going to be producing these. Course you could always take an extended shopping trip to the nearest store with air conditioning.

Any way besides all that, here’s what we did in the country when I was a kid. Dunk your head in water. Take a small towel and dip it in water. Put the towel around your neck. Evaporation helps to cool you off.

Find the shade or a porch with a roof and a swing. If there is no breeze, sit down on the swing and let the breeze help cool you off. If no swing, a paper fan held in the hand helps.

People have lived for thousands of years without airconditioning or electricity. It’s really really nice, but you don’t have to have it. Food - that’s a necessity and I intend to garden till I die.
