As kids in the 50’s no one had ac. It was a treat to go to the drugstore and marvel at the comfort and then turnaround and walk back out into the oven. You couldn’t dance or you would sweat like a mofo. I recently switched over to mini splits but use them primarily for heat in winter and just a few days in summer for cooling. Its a very temperate climate here. I should google “power devoted to air conditioning in America.” I’m told it’s not common in Europe at all.

Edit: 6% of all electricity consumed in the US is attributed to air conditioning.
