Give it a go. Report back on your massive plumbing bill from all of your burst pipes. I’m sure replacing that is environmentally friendly.
Or better yet just go live in a tent. The planet will thank you. |

The batteries on these things give you 5 hours max, if even.
To make this work you'd have to spend all day rotating a stock of charging batteries. |

I keep my house cold to save money and fuel, and yes I use heated clothing. They are not battery, they are usb so I use a power pack or plug in. |

If you are worried about the environment, get a heat pump and put solar panels on your roof. Problem solved. |

Instead just buy an Irish fisherman’s sweater (the real kind from Ireland) and a pair of good socks and wicked slippers from LL brand and a pair of their flannel lined jeans. That will get you 90% of the way there, it will be comfy,and no batteries. I also really like those wearable blankets.
The real problem is your nose and fingers — you have to keep it warm enough that those are still comfy. Wearing gloves indoors is a PITA. |

Better to have houses that are well insulated and are efficient to heat. Using geothermal for housing developments, radiant heat, heat pumps, solar, etc. |

You want burst pipes? Are you really this stupid that you don't know lowering your house temp below 50-ish F can do that? Come on. If OP had talked about lowering indoor temps to 60, it would be a fun experiment. But 38F? You're a moron. And so is OP. |
