Can you take the heat?

In Indiana, there is man named Kyle Kramer who lives on a farm in the Ohio River valley. Mr. Kramer's family and him turn off their air conditioner during the summer, which temperatures reach over 100 degrees. All they were doing was trying to conserve energy as much as they could. They have a passive-solar home, fluorescent light blulbs, efficient appliances, and even some solar panels for their electricity and hot water. They do this because they believe in asceticism, which involves dicipline-physical, mental, and spiritual. Mr Kramer said, " We hace come to accept--sometimes joyfully, sometimes grudgingly--that our attempts to live more simply and justly in a rural setting entail a degree of deprivation, discomfort and self-denial." We think that conserving a little energy wouldn't be that bad. What's a little heat? Give us your opinion on what would you do if you lived in a place that had the temperature of over a 100 degrees.
