Marylanders were recently informed that, due to deregulation (and hey, wasn’t that supposed to somehow be a GOOD thing?), our rates for electricity will increase 72%, beginning some time this summer.
I’ll just let that sink in for a moment. SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT.
So obviously the most pressing question in the minds of Gaughran-Perez household members will shortly become: just how much heat can I bear, and for how long, before I cave in and put on some air conditioning*? And would having six rotating fans directed at one’s body set on “HIGH” accomplish a near-equal cooling effect and yet somehow manage to use less energy?
What if I wet down my hair and stuck my head into the freezer for a couple minutes? Yes? No?
