These outdoor heaters are stupid and a waste of electricity (infosec.pub)

They are in front of the elevators at an outdoor multi story parking garage around my area. That's all I wanted to share, thanks.

I get what you're saying, but I disagree. If you don't use this heater but send the renewable electricity to the grid instead, somewhere non-renewable energy doesn't have to be used. IMO your argument is the same as the reason energy efficiency leads to more energy consumption. I quickly googled it to make sure I'm not talking out of my ass, and it's called Jevon's paradox.

So what your saying is that switching to renewable is pointless because we aren't allowed to use the energy for what we want?

Of course not, didn't you read the second sentence? I'm saying making renewable energy just so you can waste it doesn't help much.

It's not a waste if it makes people more comfortable
