People With Rising AC Electric Bills Evicted
David Callaway and Doug McIntyre discuss a recent study revealing that evictions are higher in hot cities like Houston, Phoenix, and Las Vegas due to soaring energy costs. They highlight how climate change is inflationary, driving up expenses for essentials like food and housing. The conversation notes the broader impact of rising temperatures on food production, affecting staples such as coffee, chocolate, bananas, and oranges. While clean energy promises lower costs, the current mix of renewable and fossil fuels means higher prices for consumers, especially those needing air conditioning to cope with extreme heat.
