Did you know? Without Air Conditioning the population of some of the hottest Southern states, like Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, would have stagnated. Historically, booming industry and the economy were located in the NorthEast because it was far too hot for people to want to live and work in some of the Southern states. However, when home air conditioning became more popular, the population in the hotter states saw a noticeable increase as they became more desirable places to live! Thank you air conditioning!
