Richard Branson (who asked for UK taxpayer money to repair his private island after hurricane Irma) Has set a climate change challenge:
As the world continues to warm, you can expect more and more folks to be turning to air conditioners to keep their living environments cool and comfortable. And in that sense, this energy-intensive technology will do plenty to exacerbate the very problem it is designed to solve. The Global Cooling Prize is a competition to help stop runaway climate change, by dangling US$3 million in prize money for the development of more energy-efficient cooling solutions.
The Global Cooling Prize is backed by the Indian government among other partners, with Richard Branson taking on the ambassadorial duties.

Diverter? Can you put a hood on the heat vent so it blows sideways?

TV is Fantastic! Unfortunately it would not fit through the maze of doorways into main Family room.. Currently sitting in the garage plugged in, next to the snowmobiles. Wanted to knock a wall in to fit the new set, but the wife just had some very expensive wallpaper installed, lifted from some old Library in Ireland, so that's out. Can't have it in the Living room, as it does not match the decor of Elk Heads and Italian Marble.
Fortunately, a neighbor who is a contractor saw my dilemma, and offered to enclose part of the garage as an entertainment/media/snowmobile room.
Currently debating that addition, or just returning the monster and giving everyone an iPad Air for Christmas.

I sold my wife's car and cashed in our retirement to get this tv and it was totally worth it. Granted she has to get up a hour and a half earlier to catch the bus but we're saving on has and insurance so that's good. The picture is so clear and life like. It's just as if I'm looking out a window. Only a much nicer window then the ones we have since they're kind of dirty, and the view from them sucks. I've also found it helpful to cover all the windows in my living room so no gets any ideas about stealing my tv. It's ok because I hung shades on either side of it and now I can pretend I live where ever I want! The picture is THAT GOOD!!!!! I can't recommend this TV enough. If I could give it 14 stars, I would. It's that good. And all the educational programming my daughter can watch on it should help her get a schoralship (at least I hope if will cause we can't afford college now). Again, don't hesitate, just buy it. Plus it's Prime so you get free shipping!!!!!!!!!
