Ask HN: Sustainability and open air heated swimming pools
2 by profsummergig | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I'm traveling through a state well-known world-wide for its virtue-signaling on sustainability (climate/environmental). My motel has an open air heated swimming pool and hot tub. And it's cold outside. All of yesterday, I was the only person who used either. Two vats containing thousands of gallons of water. One heated to a very high temperature, the other to a slightly lower temperature. All year long, 24/7. Steam constantly rising from both. How do they (the state's government/activists/citizens) justify this? Is this energy coming from a green source and cannot be used elsewhere?
