France to order air-conditioned shops to keep doors shut
France24 ^ | July 24, 2022

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?

Next, they’ll be required to change their underwear every half hour.

And wear it on the outside so the gendarmes can tell it's clean.

Common sense should not need to be legislated.

But when it is lack: Merde, alors!

Anyone else hearing their mom or dad’s voice shouting out “I can’t afford to air condition the whole neighborhood!”?

next year they won’t be allowed any air conditioning at all.

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.)
