In the Nordic countries, we just can't survive without our heating. Without it, we could probably not produce as much during the winter as we do now. Even with triple pane glass being the norm up here, we still consume massive amounts of energy every winter to keep warm. People are genuinely scared of having variable utility prices and many rather opt for a fixed price for a fixed time period, because you never know if you're going to have a really harsh winter, like we did this one that saw enormous amounts of snow.
If we could use the radiators and central heating to transform our countries into economic power houses, I don't see how we have the right to stop countries in the tropics from making virtually the same journey, albeit with cooling rather than heating.
