Woo hoo... more products to be made in China! You do realize GE
packed up and shipped its entire incandesent factory to China, along
with about 95% of its other operations, if they didn't have to have
repairman physically here in the US, GE would've bugged out 100% from
the country, why not, they made $14B last year and paid next to nothing
in taxes, so who better to bring into the White House to help with the
economic recovery then the head of a company that has all but abandoned
the US labor market... viva la irony!

using a fan instead of central air conditioning during the
summertime.
Not here. With ~3.5-4kW worth of computers running 24x7, we run A/C
year-round. With how hot our part of Florida has become over the past
5-6 years, we'd probably still be running A/C year-round even without
the computers. It's unbelievable. That's the big reason we're trying
so hard to move back up north.
