Sometimes it’s raining
- anonporridge 5y agoCool! So you hang your clothes otherwise, right? Or are you just a hypocrite that will readily use an unnecessarily energy wasteful product for some light convenience while berating something that uses energy that other people, but not you, consider to be valuable. Or do you want to have an actual adult conversation about how we can actually solve GHG emissions by properly internalizing the costs of polluting via these dirty sources, rather than wasting political and social capital on a thing that uses <1% of the worlds energy, and if it disappeared tomorrow would have almost zero effect on our planet's climate trajectory?
- webkike 5y agoYou can try to frame it like it is all you want, but drying clothes is not using “unnecessarily energy wasteful product for some light convenience”. This isn’t just one person using a dryer to dry their socks, this is the total cost of drying clothes, and that isn’t something that doesn’t massively improves everyone’s life. If you’re going to spend that amount of energy the base requirement of usefulness of the outcome in my opinion very well could be that all of our clothes are dried.
