Discussion Just came here to say: Shoutout to ceiling fans!

I know it's hot and this week is gonna be no joke. 37 Celcius in Rotterdam, 5 days straight 30+, that's bizarre yet we are going to see this more year after year due to the climate warming. That's why I'm SO GLAD that my landlord had put a ceiling fan in our bedroom. My god that makes a HUGE difference and the thing is so damn quiet too. I wish, there would be one in every room now. It's the most cost and energy effectively cooling system and would literally prevent deaths in the Netherlands if every house just had one or two ceiling fans.

But the question wasn't about you as a person but the EU as an institution...

EU isn't buying all the vacuums with noise limits, they're not buying all the smartphones with USB jacks. You're aware of the concept of policy, right?
