Notice what his excuse is? "So everyone can have a decent standard of living. Including a refrigerator and air conditioner."
To put it politely, FORGET the air conditioner AND the refrigerator if it means I can't follow God's law. Man survived without both for millenia, and he can do it again. Human beings don't melt above 70 degrees F. That's snickers bars you're thinking of. We sweat, but there are PLENTY of ways to design houses so the hot summer sun hits an overhang, tree, vine, etc. instead of hitting your house.
How many people still think about the fact that shade is much cooler than standing in the sun? I didn't used to, until I started going outside a lot. Most people only go outside enough to go to the store (parking lots are seldom shaded) so they think it's hell to be outside.
People build houses stupidly these days, so A/C is almost necessary.
