Twitter lost its mind when a new report suggested that, for energy efficiency purposes, you set the thermostat at your home during the summer for 78° F when you're home, 85° F when you're at work and 82° F when you're sleeping. Is THAT really necessary? Jeff asks Danielle Butcher of the American Conservation Coalition and reveals what he considers comfortable at his house.
Incidentally, Jeff has already received Facebook messages indicating that the government shouldn't dictate the settings of the thermostats at peoples' houses. The settings are NOT a suggested government mandate, but a consumer report by Energy Star-a Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
