Switzerland says it will fine, jail individuals who turn their thermostats above 66 degrees

Switzerland’s over-reliance on Russian gas combined with its climate change alarmism has created an energy disaster for the European nation. The situation has become so dire that the Swiss government has enacted regulations that allow for the fining and jailing of citizens who turn their thermostats above 19 degrees Celsius – 66 degrees Fahrenheit – this winter.

Those who are caught turning their thermostats above the mandated threshold face up to three years in prison and fines between 30 and 3,000 Swiss francs (U.S. $31 and $3,090).

In addition to keeping buildings heated with gas to 66 degrees, the Swiss government will also mandate that water can only be heated to 60 degrees Celsius – 140 degrees Fahrenheit. There will also be a ban on radiant heaters and the heating of swimming pools and saunas will be forbidden, according to Swiss outlet Blick.

#1  But it's OK that NEST thermostats can be turned up (or down) against your desired temp, remotely, without your permission?
