If you cool it, it seems to run faster for longer and it draws more power. So more power = more heat.

And I'm not talking about the heat itself, I'm talking about how we make that power. Those airconditioning units during the summer aren't all powered by solar or wind. They add a lot of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere.

If you want to save A/C, then you should go outside yourself, since you're putting out dramatically more heat than a laptop.

And see what you can do about blotting out the sun, drive that's what's really heating us up.

Alright, if you don't want to discuss it anymore, there's no need to be dramatic about it.
