It sounds like he longs to live in Europe.
I tell all my liberal friends that if they want to reduce their carbon footprint just turn off the AC and hang their clothes on the clothesline outside.
They never seem to want to do that.
The last time I visited Greece back in the mid-1990s, it seemed the only place you could find AC was inside a newer car. How primitive... and hot.
Back to the article. The writer is an idiot. It gets plenty hot and humid up north too.
I did use a clothes line for years (and cloth diapers—I really should win an award!) I kinda miss the way clothes dried on the line smell, but I admit, I really don’t want to spend that much time on laundry these days (plus my HOA would likely have a fit if I put up a clothes line!).

Try that and the homeowner's association will be all over you.
I used to compromise on that, I lived in an apartment and the aircon condenser unit sat on the balcony, when I did a wash I simply put all the laundry out on a clothes horse in front of the unit while I sat inside in my nice cool room; all the clothes would be dry within thirty minutes at no extra cost to me.
