I get how this is good, but what is revolutionary about it?
whenever I see ‘revolutionary’ in a Swiss reddit I instinctively check police twitter for demos
They mention that it can help reduce the stress during heatwaves. I think the bigger concern is winter since A/C is not used much here in comparison to places like the US. Plenty of people like to keep their house or shops 22C+ in the winter though.
Wow revolutionary. Its not like we’re doing this for 50years+
I don’t think that other countries discovering something Switzerland has been doing for decades can be considered ‘revolutionary’.
> source of energy
Just of storage. Also still not enough to cover the raising demand.
“Revolutionary” would be building modern AKWs.
We had some of these for a long time now and even newer ones like Linth-Limmern with winter oriented alpine solar panels were constructed.
More than a dozen retrofits/constructions were blocked (by regulatory bodies, by environmental groups complaining) or not yet started; I very much hope they’ll unblock and construct them all now.
