There is a paragraph about this in the article:
- Energy Demand: As people rely more on air conditioning and other cooling equipment during heat waves, the demand for power rises. This puts a burden on the electrical grid, potentially leading to power shortages and blackouts if supply cannot keep up with demand.
Man, that reminds me of an art installation that I saw many years ago, where an artist set up a bunch of home electronics in a completely dark room so that their LED lights looked like star constellations.
It was kinda beautiful and yet a reminder about all the "light pollution" we get from these devices, basically what you are talking about.
I tried to look up the name of the artist and that art installation, but couldn't find it.
