It is quite a meaningless rant.
"Letting the outside in" is pretty nice when the outside is within reasonable bounds, and you seem to be lucky enough to have that, but when the outside is 40C and above, or 99% humidity, it's just turning daily life to hell.
And yes, we can both increase efficiency and make sure the origin of electricity is from renewable source to make things better. It will consume more energy than not doing it at all, but believe me, ask anyone that lives in a place where the weather is at least a bit harsh (apparently not your case), the price is definitely worth it.
As for the rant about building shopping malls and parking lots, there's been quite a lot of development since the 90's. All the new projects I see popping up contain greenery and parks develop wild patches, and mega-malls are falling into disrepair.
- helmholtz 4y ago"Apparently not your case" My friend, I lived most of my life in India. Trust me. I know everything there is to know about heat. I KNOW the engineers who're in this field. I see them every year at the same damn conference, where they talk the same damn talk all the time. Hypothetically, sure, one can do both. Improve efficiency AND reduce. But please, tell me where we've done that? CPUs? Electricity usage? CO2 emissions? Nowhere.
