My point is just that viewing A/C as a luxury leads to more energy use. Yes, I think Europe needs to have a large scale deployment of heat pumps — not only for the climate benefits but also to lower dependency on Russian oil and gas. A/C just comes along for the ride as a thing that makes lives better. New developments like the Olympic village should all have heat pumps.

I would aim for maybe 95-97% of expected weather to be covered.
