Depends on where you live too. When I lived in Leimen, a small suburb of Heidelberg, I was right on the Marktplatz. During the summer it got freaking hot as hell. Thankfully I had a portable unit that I ran in my bedroom that made it tolerable at night.
Now when I live out in the countryside in Schweinfurt, I didn't really need A/C, especially because my apartment was built into a hill.
I grew up in Iowa without AC too and probably only needed it a few nights out of the year. When those hot nights would hit, we would sleep outside because it was cooler.

Well good luck small business owners. If the draconian covid shutdowns didn't destroy your businesses, then making your establishments completely unbearable to be inside of will finish you off.

I know where they can shove that recommendation.

They also didn't even have wheels back then, so surely we don't need wheels in modern times either, right?

Phase out thermostats that don't connect to the internet
You would have to pass a law to make them illegal or energy providers would have to have a rule that requires smart thermostats.
You would also have to provide free Internet to homes, you cannot legally require someone have Internet.
I am not sure energy companies could require smart thermostats without a law change, electricity is a public utility. This is why you have to opt in/out of their "smart" plans.

Through the vagueness you listed, all those technologies are available and are also being used on a daily basis. Hydroelectric, photovoltaic, wind, nuclear energy and even solar.

But half our retarded population was CHEERING lockdowns, forced vaccines, and the ruin of our economy.
I highly doubt shel and his friends would cheer not being able to get their houses below 80 degrees.
MAYBE that would be something we could get our leftist citizens to agree with us on. Or maybe they’d just see that we aren’t for hot af homes so they’d be for it.
Idfk.
God I hate the left.

Anyone else find celsius temperatures the hardest metric measurement to relate to?
Metric is much easier for calculations and really doesn’t matter conceptually in most cases. “Inflate your tire to 2.4 bar” isn’t conceptually harder than inflate to 42psig.
Ambient temperature and body temperature are different animals though. Fahrenheit is more comprehensible. A scale of 0 = cold as hell and 100 = hot as Frick is really easy to comprehend. Humans can also perceive small temperature differences quite well, so the fact that a 1 degree Celsius change in temperature is equal to a 1.8 degree change in Fahrenheit actually starts to matter.
This is before we get to my favorite fact I learned during Covid:
The norm for body temperature and when to say you have a fever is just 37 degrees Celsius and 38 degrees Celsius…..so basically average temperatures rounded to the nearest whole number, with variations from person to person.
What we use in the US - 98.6 (normal) and 100.4 (fever) us just the unit conversion from 37 and 38, and makes us believe body temperatures are way more precise than they actually are, after all, you would bother saying 98.6 if “98” tells you everything you need to know, would you?

Ah yes, by all means let's revert all forms of modern life back to caveman standards.

Eh.
I’ve adjusted to 76, and it’s fine. 80 would be do-able and encourage more time outside.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the world does to combat climate change when frickin China does what it wants. it is all total bullshite.

Yep, I've adjusted to 78 and it hasn't been bad at all with ceiling fans running.
My office is always a meat locker. I wonder how much money my company could save if they went up 5 degrees on the thermostat. I have to wear a light jacket every day in my office.

How about instead of this insanity, perhaps they buy gas from other sources
