The sale of inefficient air-conditioners will be banned from next July in South Australia.Premier Mike Rann says it will not affect air-conditioners already installed.
"The inefficient air-conditioners we are talking about are costly for consumers and for the environment," Mr Rann said from Copenhagen, where he chaired a meeting during the climate summit.
"They impose a cost burden on the whole community. That's because the extra energy needed to power them means bigger power stations, bigger transmission boosters and bigger distribution lines, the cost of which is passed on to all consumers via bigger electricity bills."
Mr Rann says SA will be first to have a ban and other states are expected to follow.

It's a shame that they still can be produced!
What if today was your last day??
ReplyDeleteThat must be banned for it is an additional burden to people like us who worked hard just to pay the bills for electricity. Having that kind of air conditioning is not effective and not good for our house for it will cost big and higher demands on electric. Better I was not able to buy that kind of a/c unit.
