only failed states turn off residential AC or heating.

Boggles my mind how some think it's acceptable.

I don't think raverbashing was talking about the state turning it off, but rather individual people turning their own AC/heating off.

Nest Thermostat offers many features to automatically do this if users want it, both to save money, as well as to help the planet. Full disclosure, I work at Google, but not Nest.

Nope, smart states do that. Heat can be stored. Heat when it's cheap.
