Hi MM,
I will give you something else to chew on, that is closely
related to your HVAC opinion and weather relations.
Sweden have a climate that is comparable to Northern US
and Southern Canada. The use compared to US and Canada
are as follows.
The average Swede use 25% energy of the average

MM,
Thank you, I corrected the percentage. I used the number
that somebody said, but did not check it sufficiently. You
are right and it fit also better with the other data, now when
I checked it. Maybe my population number included Canada
as North
You know, while it may be true that Californians have practiced and
studied some good conservation principles, I also think David has a
point. Back when I was taking some hard look at America's overall
energy usage, home heating oil is a very significant part of that
usage. Sometimes the

California has about 12% of U.S. population (33 million out of 272
million as of 1999 Almanac Figures), not the nearly 20% that you
have in your statement at that top. Even accounting for

Re:
Californians 50%
I don't want to step on a good thing, but is it 50% because of the climate,
or 50% because Californians are
different or more energy conscious?
My gfather lives in San Diego. He almost never has to turn the heat on,
ever. He only uses AC on the
hotest of days.. perhaps 5
Hi David,
The fact is that California during many years have a very active
program for saving of energy. This is the reason, because if you
look at other states in US, with similar climate conditions, they
are at average or above average. Of course, a lot is AC in those
states, very much
