That 2% would be of what the residential ac units are using, not total. It's fraction of a fraction of a fraction. 3 % of residents deciding to not shut their ac off consumes 33% more electricity than times square.

I get the optics, and I'm in favor of forcing businesses to put residents first, but they need to do more than just shut off their lights.
