Green New Deal in progress! ‘Businesses in Spain must keep summer air conditioners above 80 degrees Fahrenheit under new government rules’

Spain’s new air-conditioning law will bring suffering, little benefit

Has this become a thing for leftists? Is air conditioning the next front in the climate change debate?

However, maybe fortunately, no politician here is crazy enough to wage war on the great device that holds millions of people are extremely comfortable [and alive] during the summer months. [bold, links added]

This device is kill mother earth. Spain has decided to implement a law that will ban most places from setting their air conditioner temperature below 27 degrees Celsius. It’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit (via EuroNews):

“A debate broke out after the Spanish government ordered offices, shops and other locations to be prevented from setting air conditioning below 27°C in the summer. This is part of a plan to cut the country’s energy consumption and limit its dependence on Russian gas. […]

Andrea Castillo, a worker at Castellón university, told Euronews: “Right now, perhaps hinted at by the heatwave we are experiencing, I would say that at 27 degrees we will be very hot. “Perhaps we can work at 25 degrees, but not at 27 degrees.”

Laura Berge, a civil servant in Valencia, questioned the practicality of this measure.

“In general, you can work at 27 degrees, but to get to that temperature in hot areas, you need to set the air conditioner to 22 or 23 degrees for a few hours, so I worry that it will not allowed to exceed. 27 degrees. at any time,” she told Euronews.

“In that case, the air would have to be turned on first and it would be counterproductive in terms of energy savings.”

Berge’s colleague, María Isabel Ruiz, agrees.

“I am in favor of saving energy and this requires sacrifice, but these suggested temperatures are not appropriate,” she said.

80 degrees monstrous! What is the use of setting the air conditioner at that time?
