You must have _some_ idea. That is, I'm almost sure you use hot
water for the same things I do; bathing and washing clothes and
dishes. May be I have more clothing and bathe more often?

Fine, but if you take the time to gather some facts I'm sure you'll
find that, by and large, our houses are larger than yours and
consequently cost more to heat _and_ to cool. Check into air
conditioning costs and you'll find that it takes much more energy to
do that than you thought if you think it "doesn't use much,"

Really? Envision someone in the US moving into a house with an 80
amp service and wanting to air condition part of it that wasn't
air-conditioned before. If the capacity isn't there, it just won't
happen.
