Back To School: Extreme Heat Drives Soaring Electricity Costs for Schools

Doug McIntyre discusses a recent study highlighting the increased electricity usage for air conditioning in schools, especially in Reno, Nevada, where the usage has tripled due to extreme heat. As students return to school, rising temperatures present challenges, including the high cost of air conditioning for school systems and the difficulty of safe transportation for students. Many school buses lack adequate cooling, and walking to school in such heat is not an option. The ongoing heat wave underscores the changing climate and its impact on daily life.
