Americans are scoffing at Europeans again for not installing air conditioning.
Do they even know these things consume loads of energy?
We need to do something about the climate. We must drastically lower emissions, especially in the US.
We also need to adapt.
A/C units are a dumb. But replacing oil and gas heating with heat pumps and installing solar panels is smart!
That way, the excess summer solar energy can be used to cool buildings with installations that are there anyway.
