So you are saying AC is a need in the Netherlands for the odd week of heatwaves in a year?

Installing thousands to millions of AC compressors, piping, having the grid ready for the spike in consumption when all these ACs turn on, etc. is a necessity that needs to happen because The Hague is reaching 30C for 3 days in the next week?

Interesting how little lives are worth to Europeans given how many die due to heat each year. To beat America in indifference to one's own people is an actual achievement.
Buddy, this is far from three days a year in some specific Dutch city. We have this happening all over the continent. You're just out of touch.
