They hate the south and want to do everything they can to undermine it. Ag products under attack are invariably southern. Go after air conditioning while failing to note that heating costs are much lower.
There’s an Israeli company, Advantix, that has invented a new sort of air conditioning using salt that requires 50-80% less electricity. Like fracking and peak oil, the idiots better come up with a new scheme to reduce us all to sweltering serfs packed into concrete housing projects, because reality has caught up and surpassed their narrative.
Interesting, it isn’t good for the desert but is made for the humid climates.
