It is hot because the Sun is shining! How simple and basic this statement and yet somebody in Texas wants to create more Coal fired plants! Who is this ridiculous person?

The Hot Sun provides enough power to keep you comfortable day and night for basically the rest of your lives. All you have to do is harness the heat of the Sun with Photovoltaic Cells on your roof tops, or catch the heat of the Sun and focus the Sunlight on Water Pipes in order to create steam for Electric Turbines.

You can create passive cooling systems by planting shade Trees around your homes. Another method is to build deeper underground and allow the cooler ground basement air to circulate through your dwellings. It works in reverse in Winter with warm air from the ground circulating upwards. Have Fun and Good Luck!
