Paris (AFP) – Air-conditioned shops in France will be ordered to keep their doors closed or risk being fined, a minister said Sunday announcing an upcoming rule to combat energy wastage.
Leaving the doors open when the air conditioning is on leads to "20 percent more consumption and... it's absurd," French Minister of Ecological Transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher told RMC radio.
The minister said there were also plans to restrict the use of illuminated signs.
"In the coming days, I will issue two decrees: the first will widen the ban on illuminated advertising, whatever the size of the city, between 1 am and 6 am", with the exception of airports and stations, Pannier-Runacher told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
"The second will ban shops from having their doors open while the air conditioning and heating are working".

“And don’t forget to stay hydrated”
That has got to be the stupidest governmental paternal advice ever.
Maybe your problems start when you have a “Minister of Ecological Transition”
Why do people have to be told this?
Doesn’t it make sense just on the surface that if you are heating or cooling, you close up the place instead of wasting it?
“Rebels are we, / Born to be free, / just like the fish in the sea.”
Nope....No air conditioning in the 50s or 60s.
And wear it on the outside so the gendarmes can tell it's clean.
Give me two hundred tuna salad sandwiches.
"... and one on a roll"
Most likely they won’t have electricity by next year.
“Ok, Nobody Sweat, NOBODY SWEAT!”
Remember that movie? B&W.
Common sense should not need to be legislated.
But when it is lack: Merde, alors!
Getting close to Wyatt torching his oil wells.
Anyone else hearing their mom or dad’s voice shouting out “I can’t afford to air condition the whole neighborhood!”?
ALL THE TIME
Same for winter heat:
We ARE NOT HEATING THE COUNTY !!!!!
“but one time I was driving with a French model, on a nice day in soCal.“
Cool!
The electric bill...lord.
What did people do in old times before air conditioning?
They should just ban air conditioning, as it wastes electricity and causes pollution. (No, I don't have an air conditioner in my home; mine consists of opening windows. Don't have it in my vintage cars either, and just roll down windows in my modern cars.)
“Did anybody else hear that growing up?”
Or “do you live in a barn?
vivez-vous dans une grange?
