Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump’s Energy Department has suggested as well.
Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.
This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren’t any blackouts during this massive heat wave.
Only if I’ve been outside. For those staying inside it’s going to feel pretty unpleasant.
It’s still the best option though.
Have you tried setting your cooling to 78, or 76 with Eco mode on?
I’m at 75, and it’s really the limit of what I can stand. Occasionally I have to lower it to 73 for an hour or so to pull some of the humidity out of the air.
If your AC doesn’t already have a dry mode, yea. Set the unit to 72-74°F with the fan on low for an hour or so (eco off) to pull out some moisture.
