With the onset of heat, Europeans have experienced the "double heaven of ice and fire". Previously, due to various reasons, Europeans were forced to choose logging for heating due to natural gas emergencies, but now it is difficult to supply natural gas normally, but it has ushered in high temperature extreme weather.
It is reported that the previous two tooth countries, namely Portugal and Spain, have killed 1,100 people because of the high temperature, and even multiple fires, resulting in tens of thousands of people being left homeless. In addition, the British have not had a good time in the near future. According to the news released by the country's Meteorological Bureau, the average temperature in the United Kingdom is about to break through 37 degrees Celsius, which has reached a record high, and it is even possible to break through more than 40 degrees Celsius in the future.
The prolonged heat exposure led to the heating of a runway at London airport, and even the runway of the RAF airport was not spared. Faced with this situation, many Britons can only choose to squeeze into the subway full of special smells and not yet air conditioning, and go to the office to blow air conditioning. Even many Britons, worried that the high temperature will cause traffic accidents, directly choose to work from home and rely on electric fans and iced drinks to survive.
Speaking of this, many people may ask, most European countries, but have long been among the list of developed countries, can not afford to install an air conditioner? Why would you rather endure high temperatures than install air conditioners? It is reported that in addition to the Northern European region, the people in Western Europe are cold-resistant and afraid of heat. In addition, 90% of Europeans live in latitudes 40 to 60 degrees north, which is similar to the temperature of northeast China all year round.
In addition, the southernmost part of Cyprus is located at a latitude equivalent to the Qingdao region of China. This means that most parts of Europe keep the summer temperature at around 25 degrees Celsius, if it exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, it will make Europeans feel uncomfortable, if it reaches 40 degrees Celsius, it is estimated that you can drive the crane west on the spot.
More importantly, because Europeans have long winters and short summers, when building houses, they basically focus on keeping warm. At the same time, due to the early construction of the European subway, no refrigeration and air conditioning was considered at that time. As for why Europeans don't install air conditioning in their homes?
That's because the price of refrigeration and air conditioning in Europe is about 700 euros, equivalent to about 5,000 yuan. However, for each air conditioner installed by workers, they need 1500 to 2000 euros, equivalent to about 10,000 yuan. This price is enough to buy two air conditioners again, so ordinary people do not dare to expect to install refrigeration air conditioners.
In addition, due to the soaring international energy prices in the European region today, the price of electricity has reached 400 euros per megawatt hour, which is equivalent to about 2.67 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity. According to the use of air conditioning a month requires about 100 kWh of electricity, that is 276 yuan. However, Europeans do not install air conditioning in only one room, but choose to install central air conditioning, or there is air conditioning in each room. If it is a villa area, it is estimated that five air conditioners are needed, and the cost of electricity alone amounts to hundreds of euros per month.
In addition, the use of air conditioning will also face complaints from neighbors, such as noise, drainage, circuit aging, etc., it is likely that after installation, it will also need to be removed. What's more, in Europe, it was hot during the day and very cool at night, so there was no need to install air conditioning at all. Coupled with the global proposed carbon neutrality and development goals, it means that Europeans use air conditioning in large quantities, which is contrary to the carbon neutrality goal. At the same time, since Europeans had no natural gas, they could choose to use love to generate electricity, now can they choose to use love to refrigerate? This is the best of both worlds and the best of both worlds.
