Re:Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity by FartyMcFarter on Thursday August 27, 2026 @08:07AM (#49463424)
I don't necessarily disagree, but I am wondering what luxury will next become a necessity if we keep increasing our energy usage in order to get both more luxuries and necessities?

On the bright side, I suppose one mitigating factor is that renewable energy makes it less harmful to use energy to power A/C usage.

Are we going to build a dyson sphere some day or are we not? That's some hell of a "increasing our energy usage".
