Man, the AC systems use very little energy. In a newer (less than 5years old) 2,200SF home with an efficient central AC and good insulation, you're spending less than $200/mo in electricity bills in peak summer heat.

And nowhere in the UK do you need AC except for maybe five weeks per year. So the energy usage would be extremely low there.

I’d bet those that made that decision are enjoying their ac set at 68.

Then they should take AC out of Parliament,government buildings and the homes of elected / appointed officials first.

I can assure you the non elected government wanker who made this decision is sitting AC all day and has AC in their home.

Well , it's like a generator. You only need it for the one to two weeks a year your power is knocked out by a hurricane or other causes.

So I guess you are saying we shouldn't get generators either.

That would for sure start a war if our government tried that.

I have no sympathy for Brits until they’re willing to do something about it.

The lefties are in love with the idea of no A/C. They think it will usher in some great new social change. Getting people out of the house. Sitting on porches and fanning themselves like the 1950s.

It’s insane how the people obsessed with progress want to take us back to pre-industrialization.

They can’t get them out of office before 2029 unless the PM begs Chuck to call elections, which he won’t do because Labour will get its shite pushed in.

They are stuck with the current pols just short of something unexpected happening.

I bet the royal king and queen, their family grifters, and the prime minister won't have to remove theirs.

They say AC, despite the heat, should serve only as a "last resort".

Unless you're in the desert Southwest of the US, when it's over 95° then you're 100% in the "last resort" stage.

The second half of my childhood was spent in central Oklahoma surrounded by rivers, lakes, ponds and creeks and the humidity is always off the charts. I didn't have an AC in the window, just a fan. I'd not wish that on anyone, especially someone older and less accustomed to the heat.

This is some truly draconian bullcrap by the Brits. I don't even need to bother to point out the myriad levels of hypocrisy on display here as they air condition their massive government buildings and parliament chambers and fly in their private jets while they lecture the serfs about the impact on the environment.
