why don't you take the AC pill?

>>212307782 (OP)
Energy prices are currently rising because all the Southerners turn their AC on in the heatwave.

>>212307873
*raises your energy bill*

>>212307782 (OP)
This summer is perfect. Used AC only for a week this year.

Europoor isn't a meme

Good morning sir

>feel hot
>open window
>hot goes away
This perplexes the ac-tard

>>212307917
only if you have a dynamic contract

>>212308100
I look like this and I say this

>>212308393
the hot air just comes in. It's so humid here and there's no breeze that opening the window does nothing

>>212308393
i have ac in every room

>>212308393
>feel hot
>open window
>hot air comes inside
You just ruined my house.

>>212307782 (OP)
I'm fucking melting

>>212308393
>t. retard who has never been in such situation when it's much hotter inside than outside and opening the window is just letting the heat in

>>212307782 (OP)
Power outages.

hai can u murder me pwetty pwease ?

i run my ac all day and it increases my energy bill like $10/month
it sounds like you guys are just getting fucked over and they're inventing excuses

>>212308393
it’s the opposite akshually

>>212308393
>it is now hot and humid inside
so this is the intellectual might of pekka

>literally free power outside from the sun you just have to collect it
>chooses not to collect it

lol. AC doesn't even pull that much power anyway, unless you got some shitty portable unit and a house that leaks air/heat

>>212309350
that nice and all but they're looking into charging people for putting power on the grid.

They also made people change their old elec counter to new ones that cant reverse when you put power on the grid.

The only reason i now see solar on my house as a benefit would be in summer for AC. but a solar and AC installation would be 15k. Not worth its for those few days of heat.

>>212307782 (OP)
that's not even that hot
you spam this every year
do you know thing called summer is a thing?

>>212309953
Our bodies and infrastructure is not built to handle thirdie temperatures

>>212310042
pretty sure you nafris are familiar with hot climate

>>212309648
>they're looking into charging people for putting power on the grid
what the fuck is wrong with europeans? here they pay you

>>212307782 (OP)
Climate control setups in the Midwest tend to be over-engineered. During a polar vortex event when it got to -24F for 3 nights in a row, my heating ran at about 50% capacity. For the AC moreso: 25% to keep it at 74 when it's 96 outside. It could be 120 fucking degrees outside, and I could keep it down to 65 indoors.

>>212307782 (OP)
>why don't you take the AC pill?
Never had any need for one.
No heat here and it's been raining pretty much daily since April.

>>212307782 (OP)
why, I live in the mountains, even if it's 35 in the day it cools off to 14 at night

>>212310724
AC doesn't just cool your house, it also dehumidifies it.

>>212308961
You call that cold? You’ve never even seen snow.

>>212310899
I have to use a humidifier in my apartment just to keep the levels above 20%. The ventilation is too effective in this building.

>>212310724
Northern Illinois this time of year.

>>212308961
8 degrees is t shirt weather after the winter desu

>>212311370
Well you guys are a lot further south than me.

>>212307782 (OP)
Heh, well...

>>212311457
A lot further south than even London. Still, I'd like a lot more rain this time of year.

>>212307782 (OP)
I have the fan + mist sprayer on me all the time lol I literally feel nothing i'm good.

The real problem is that the population of my town is half african and now that even the temperature is african they are becoming even more savages.

i have many trees around my house and the sun mostly shines on the roof, so it's very cool in the summers

>>212307782 (OP)
I have an "AC" installed (like most houses do around here). It works well for cooling but hardly ever use it except for heating in the months when it's not too cold for it.

>>212307782 (OP)
I have two in my apartment. Comfy 18c in here, 26c outside.

>>212308897
I don't even know my energy bill

No need.
My home has no heating either.

>>212308897
I don't have an AC. It's electricity prices that rise when people use a lot of electricity (such as everyone turning their AC on at the same time). This is pretty basic supply and demand stuff it's not groundbreaking theory.

I've never seen the need for an AC.
Just came back from the lake. Life is good.

>>212316160
It's 9 cents a kilowatt-hour here, no matter the time of year or whatever. About 70% of the grid is nuclear, 15% wind.

>>212308897
bro american energy costs like 1/5 of energy here

>>212317221
>9 cents a kilowatt-hour
Damn.

Not a single hot day this summer where I live. What did they mean by this.

>>212317716
Stockholm and Malmö really getting fucked hard

>>212317221
That's like peak, most expensive time of the day price for us in the big cities.
Here in a smaller (25k people) town it's currently at 0.18 cents/kWh at peak hour.

>>212317762
A lot more people putting a load on the system = higher cost. Or something.
Glad my area is hydro dense and cheap.

>>212310682
because it's overloading the grid, so the electricity you generate is completely worthless when everyone dumps their solar power on the grid and risks frying it
the irony of solar is that you get the most out of it when you don't need it

>>212318185
We get tax deductions for putting power back into the system so it's very popular to have solar panels here now.

>>212317762
Thanks Denmark, Germany and the EU! The russians could to something good for once and anchor over the cables.

>>212317221
>9 cents a kilowatt-hour here
Jesus that's robbery.

>>212318283
yeah but it becomes problematic when you hand out subsidies for panels like candy and half the country starts dumping their useless electricity on the grid but expect reliable power during cold winter nights. that's why i'm not entirely convinced about renewables, it's just too unreliable and we still don't have effective ways to store energy that justifies a complete switch to "green energy". look at germany, their CO2 emissions only increased after they closed their nuclear plants and heavily invested in green energy

>>212317716
If it's 0.49 SEK, then it's cheaper than here.

>>212318778
Euro-cents.

>>212308393
based idiot

>>212318902
Daym. Then it's like 7-8 times more than here.

>>212319035
Isn't gasoline also really cheap in Russia?

>>212317716
Based north. Fuck the south and their "green" retardation.

Not 8 times less.

They're even more pricey than they would have been due to sanctions. We can't get them in a straight way.
For me personally it's like 3.5 of my monthly salary.
>>212319180
Yes and no. Relatively to salary it's not cheap, it also highly depends on the region. The price in my region is 0.66 EUR per litre of 95 petrol.

Why do you think he's Russian? Why should we speak Russian in the thread not related to Russian and not a Russian general?

>>212319402
Vad fan säger du, dårskalle?

Why because there is no need

>>212307782 (OP)
>why don't you take the AC pill?
My apartment is never more than 22-23c.
