And yet I don't see any statistics on Uruguay's usage of A/C, or heat pumps for that matter. Burning wood to warm homes reminds me Korea in the 70's and 80's: Message 33922401 As Korea transformed into a 1st world economy, *powered by fossil fuels like coal*, the trees grew back, and I could hardly recognize the landscape when I returned in the early 2000's.
