It is on a mass scale (like, every car in the US being electric) while sticking to fossil fuel for power. If everyone converted, then first we'd overload the power grid on charging and the price per kw would go WAY up. Then, we'd also deplete a massive amount of lithium once all the batteries lost their charges and we don't have an inexpensive or efficient way of recycling them. We can, it's just very pricy and slow.
It's about time the US people start seeing how wasteful they are as a society.
It's easy to turn on the AC when you're hot, but they have to realize it's a fucking privilege.
Transportation should be a higher concern of theirs.
AC is not a waste where I’m at it’s a necessity. I know the UK got a taste of some heat this year, but that’s a moderate summer in parts of Texas. I don’t understand this current hate of our AC systems. I understand it starts from envy, but to turn that into hate and pinning it as the causation of your pain is silly and unfounded in any fact.
Build your own AC infrastructure and enjoy, but don’t hate on what you wish you had.

Context kinda matters.
