Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets...

View original postSurely, building a structure within which you can control the environment, is more efficient and effective than air conditioning open spaces.
As aero says, efficiency is probably not the number one priority. Qatar does have, as I recall, either the highest or second highest GDP per capita in the world, so I guess the cost isn't really the problem. But yeah, pretty indefensible from an environmental perspective. You could say that about a lot of things in that part of the world, though.
Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums.

This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM*

Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM*

Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild?

That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM*

They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen.

That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US.

Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist?

I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance.

Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires?

because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable
