I’ve almost entirely stopped using Facebook. I get on there maybe twice a week to see if there are any interesting things from friends and family and then get back off. Why? Because Facebook has become a cesspool of disinformation, political nonsense, and “boomer” posts .
On top of the control of air conditioning, there’s also future EV mandates that have people concerned. Nobody has yet been forced to switch to an EV, and used ICE vehicles won’t be banned under even the most stringent of EV mandates set to come into force in a decade or more.
First off, “the grid” is always being upgraded. Power companies are in the business of selling electricity, and they’re not going to pass up on any opportunity to do that. As more and more home appliances have gone from gas to electricity, and as other appliances simply came to be , demands for power from each household have gone up over the decades. Multiply that by the growing population, and it’s pretty clear that “the grid” from even five years ago would buckle under today’s demand.
In other words, it’s not ACs vs. EVs. They can both get the power they need at different times of the day or night.
