Thank fuck for that. Now if we can only turn off all the other a.c. as well, we’d have made a start!
Edit: this was a joke, but wow, you Americans are really defensive about your AC. I live in the UK and the rare times it gets very hot we are miserable because our building almost never have AC, and are built to retain heat. So I do see how much more comfortable it makes you.
Someone, who was trying to argue in favour of AC, said it uses 10% of all electricity globally. Thats insane! I guess we actually do need to turn it all off.
Well, you can’t so celebrating one poor guy’s AC going out in a heatwave is kind of a dick move, besides, it’s not AC in it of itself that is causing global warming, i’d bet that if we ran all AC on solar we’d still be fucked.
Also it’s businesses cooling (empty) offices that are the bulk of the % of AC watt hours used.
Bro imagine intentionally living in a temperate zone where you don’t need expensive resources to not die. I cannot believe these people. Total morons. Living in a swamp or desert is fucking genius.

One guy said it makes up for 1.5% of all the energy we use! That’s huuuuge. I was joking originally but I’m pretty convinced now.
I’d say 1.5% is a fucking steal for the benefit it provides, if I could only have one modern convenience i’d take AC every fucking time
Do you live outside? Under a liquid cooled tree? In a temperate zone? Never used electricity in your life?

Your privilege is showing. Not everybody is lucky enough to live in paradise.
