How do you know what I have controlling the heat at my place? For the record, 6.8 kilowatts of electric oil radiators with bi-metallic switches. I'd love thermostats, I have to manually control everything.
Don't get me started on steampunk. I'd be more hydro-electric punk. Willamette Falls, the end of the Oregon Trail (assuming you didn't die of Dysentery) where the World's first hydro-electric plant sent AC power to Stumptown (AKA Portland) in 1891, four years before Tesla wired Niagara Falls.
The Grand Coullee Dam keeps me warm and informed today.
