The War on Windows needs to stop!

President Trump said he was brave to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and claimed that his likely presidential opponent, Joe Biden, would force millions of oil and gas workers out of work.

(stuff)

Yesterday, he added air conditioning to that list, and he said Biden's plan to increase the number of energy-efficient buildings would harm the vision of their occupants.

"That means no windows, no nothing, it's very hard to do," Trump said. "I tell people when they go into some of these buildings, how are your eyes, because they won't be good in five years; I hope you don't mind cold office space in the winter and warm office space in the summer because your air conditioning is not the same as the good old days."

That actually isn't that bad of an article.

I hate the water saving faucets in public restrooms, especially with Covid. I wonder how many people don't wash their hands for 20 secs because of those.

I live in a house that has been renovated years ago, with energy efficiency being one of the key issues.

It has exactly the same amount of windows as before.

Also his claims a la "hot in summer, cold in winter" just show that he doesn't know what's he's talking about - windows, doors (for other houses even walls) are way better isolated now, which means it's definately warmer in winter, but not hotter as usual in summer.

While it adds costs initially, it saves a ton long-term, esp. since less heating is needed in fall/winter.

You don't get it. Since he has come out in favor of windows they hate them, because Orange Man bad.

Your reply doesn't compute.

I'm talking about people that think syrup is racist because it has a picture of a black women from a previous era on it.
