Air conditioning is not an extravagant luxury, although I know many people who live in cold countries believe so. That's why I'm asking you to broaden your horizons. You don't consider indoor heating or plumbing a luxury to be comparable to a private jet?

In hot and humid places, having AC was always a priority a hundred steps above having internet access, until cheap smart phones arrived.

And they use a lot of energy, just like heating uses a lot of energy in colder climates.
