After getting solar, my total energy consumption in Texas during this record-smashing heat is down by a few percent compared to this time in previous years. That is to say, it's not just that I'm importing less because now I get it from solar collection, but I'm just consuming less over all combined sources.
It really makes me fixate on how many naked roofs are still just soaking up this shitassed heat and paying extra money to push that heat back out, all while producing even more heat to do so.
