The people that die from heat are because they don't know what they are doing and don't try to find shade or water to cool off. How many people stand outside in the sub zero cold for no reason? You would die from extreme cold if you had no energy source for heat much sooner than you would die from extreme heat with no energy source for AC. Humans have lived on this planet for a long time with no AC. People adapt to their surroundings and can live in 115 degree heat or extreme cold with no electricty or AC. But we have decided to move in and develop deserts because we have AC and can now live in those conditions! But when the power goes out, people can't live in those conditions because their body isn't adapted to the heat. That is the big problem we're creating. Most Americans have a very small comfort zone nowadays. I can go all summer without AC and it won't kill me. Can you go all winter without any form of heat and survive? Some day you'll understand that wasting energy is not a good thing.
