I don't understand

The long term thinking of "air conditioning on, doors wide open".
And this is true of desert CA, China, NYC, and I'm sure lots of other places too.

I mean, you burn the coal, create heat and steam, turn the turbines, produce electricity, transmit it over lines for miles, then consume tons of it making some air cooler/some air hotter. And there are many inefficient steps in that process. You lose energy along the way. You create a LOT of heat and CO2.

And then you just leave the doors wide open? All day?

I know it is "marketing" to feel the cool air as you walk by or in; but, do you think your prospective and current customers think there is a chance that you don't have AC - and so you have to show them, before they go in?

Seems crazy.
That is, if you at all understand science or care about the longer term future (of your children? Grandchildren?)
