False dichotomy. Fans can be used in conjunction with AC, greatly reducing the energy required by the AC, by making higher temperatures acceptable.

- kijin 12y agoOf course it's a false dichotomy. Did you read the first sentence of my comment?
- antimagic 12y agoI did. The other 10 sentences then completely ignored the possibility, so I felt it was worth re-iterating. The article is pretty clear that you can dispense with air-con in many instances, and dramatically reduce it's use in the remaining cases, simply by using a fan. Nowhere does the article make the claim that air-con shouldn't be used, merely that it shouldn't be the first option when things get hot. You mis-characterised the article, and I just wanted to point that out.
