silly, if it really did start to slide down said slippery slope, someone can certainly say, "self, i see it's time to skedaddle."
if it turns into enough of a problem, the area would be less than desireable for those looking to live and cities are always trying to encourage growth.

The thermostat can be bypassed like any other gadget.
 Awhile back they made a deal at work, with the electric company, at the end of Summer. They could shut us down with 4 hrs notice when demand was up and supply short. In return they would knock a million bucks off the yearly electric bill. So a contract was immediately made to install 3 gas turbine generators, to be operational before the next Summer season, in order to keep the basics running in the event of a shutdown. Life is good. Well, it was a bad winter…..a very bad winter…very cold and snowy. About February the Electric Company exercised their option….. for 4 days. They shut down the plant and brought in as many portable generators as they could find but one of the 2 huge steam boilers went down and almost lost the second. Pipes froze and burst, the mainframe computers gave up and the maintenance people worked feverishly by flashlight. It was a very expensive mistake.

Well, I have officially learned that I am a fucking idiot. It seems the problem with our AC was...wait for it...*dead batteries in our programmable thermostat*.
I'd be better off at the mercy of Clodfobble's utility company. I shouldn't be allowed to own anything that uses electricity. Sheesh.

Is it cooling? Yes = no problem. No = problem Is it running? Yes = but not cooling, call for help. No = problem Does it have power? Yes = call for help No = check fuses and jumper out controls (T-stat) Did that work? Yes = you know the AC is ok. No = call for help
