Why Nuclear Power, Not Renewables, Is the Path to Low-Carbon Energy (2020)

People in Europe were/are reluctant to use dryers also because of the unnecessary power consumption. I also noted that a lot of clothes you buy in Europe are specifically not meant for tumble drying (according to the label) while this is practically unheard of in North America. Ironically, I suspect that in both cases, the clothes are produced in probably the same place somewhere in Asia.

They also destroy your clothes faster even if they are meant to be put in the dryer. All the stuff that's in the filter? Yeah, that's not actually useless lint, that was part of the fabric of your clothes. Clothes line is much better, also it doesn't cost you much, it rarely breaks, uses no energy. To me it's not inferior at all.

...if you have easy access to one, that is, which of course is often not the case if you live in an apartment.
