- Creature comforts don't consume the energy equivalent of a small developed country. you are incorrect here. 10% of global energy (not just electricity) is used for cooling. I live in the deep south with no AC. "basic human needs; excessive use happens rarely." is extremely generous. What you are describing is what makes you comfortable. I have no problem with that. be comfortable. Just consider that what you are describing is completely a matter of perspective and not some universal truth about use of energy. Just like you are not universally correct that every watt spent on crypto is "wasted". It's a perspective.... and my point here is to remind you to keep it in perspective of other trivial preferences people have, rather than turning it into an ideological war of good and evil.
