Accommodations might be far from optimal for the athletes competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
After concerns were raised over the lack of air conditioning in the athletes’ village back in January, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo doubled down on the idea last week.
The Olympic Village, currently under construction in the Saint-Denis area, was designed to have rooms six degrees cooler than the outdoor temperature in an effort to be environmentally friendly.

Betting the Mayor has AC, I would not want her to croak like so many did a few summers back.
Is this an effort to get them all to smell the same?
And the French women with unshaved armpits and no deodorant. Should be a blast. /s
Ah the Pepe Le Pew Olympics! Not that I’ll be watching or anything.
That should make the French women, that don’t shave their armpits, even my attractive.
An extended family member up in Canada is interested in trying to replicate solar like I have in Alabama. I told him it's almost certainly not practical for him, but we'll look at it when I get up there later this year. He does, however, have a small creek in his property that's almost always running (during the non-winter months) and empties into a pond, which drains fairly regularly to maintain a static level. We'll do the math on volume and head at the drain point to see if a pico hydro turbine is do-able to provide a lot of free power for him.
Looks like her face already melted.
FRANCE IS DONE
IIRC, the last Paris Olympics was 1924, famous for Eric Liddell winning the 400 after refusing to run the 100 on a Sunday, leaving Harold Abrahams to win the 100, and Johnny Weissmuller bringing home three gold medals before becoming Tarzan alongside Maureen O’Sullivan’s Jane.
I don’t think air conditioning would hurt, a century later, but then I think, unlike the green idiots of Europe, who only react.
Just add broom, and adios...
Are they at least going to plant trees along the parade route so that the Germans don’t get sunburn when they do their victory parade?
Ah, the smell of garlic, urine, wino breath, and body odor on a hot & humid Paris afternoon. “Bienvenue, mes amis!”
There are a lot of winter months.
It’s the 21st Century, and too many Europeans have yet to subscribe to the benefits of soap, razors, and deodorant. The French are among the worst offenders.
and now they’ll use more water ,LOL

A great story/movie... now I have the theme playing in my head!
That is fine because I enjoy it and will find Vangelis and play it over my headphones.

Thank you!
C or F degrees, I wonder.....
A guy a couple blocks from me put in a micro wind turbine along his fence adjacent to the sidewalk. It sticks up maybe ten feet above the top of the fence. It rarely turns and, when it does, it probably makes 100 watts at best (probably 25 - 50 is more like it).
I’m sure the owner is very smug and self-satisfied with his virtue-signaling toy, but what colossal waste of money!
