I'm guessing that you've never lived in any of the humid southern states. The last time I was in Miami I walked out the airport a little after midnight into a 100+ deg fog. At least with heating 100% of the energy turns into the heat you want. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason C To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Ray Ayala Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 1:08 PM Subject: Re: NMC, NPC; E85 article The amount of energy consumed by heating a northern latitude house in the winter is greater than that used by cooling a more southern house in the summer. Phoenix excepted maybe :). --- On Sat, 8/9/08, Ray Ayala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Ray Ayala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: NMC, NPC; E85 article To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 12:43 PM Unfortunately they dump far more heat outside than they remove from the inside. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 10:37 PM Subject: Re: NMC, NPC; E85 article I can understand warming caused by use of a furnace, but I'm less convinced about air conditioning. A/C simply takes heat from the sun that heats up a building and transfers that heat into the air. If the building was not there, the sun would still shine and the heat would still be here. Or am I missing something? Or, are you referring to the power plant generating the electricity that powers the A/C? In which case, yes, a considerable amount of electricity is used to heat and cool buildings. Jim in Tucson In a message dated 8/8/2008 5:33:36 P.M.

I guess that might be a less popular subject with the voting public. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
