Yep
> Pools are good for cooling down in the summer. Is it better if they use electricity and A/C instead?
There is not much A/C in France/Europe. Go to a lake or a public pool instead, no need for A/C.
> The worst thing is that other countries are copying this anti-pool thing because it's populist .
It is necessary. Not populist, necessary. We can't afford to just scream "freedom" or "populism" every time the upper middle-class wants to enjoy an environment-destroying luxury. Think of the freedom to live of the others. Is a pool necessary ? Of fsking course not. Don't try to color this as a basic need. You don't need a pool to cool down in the summer. You also don't need a 2 tons car, you don't need to travel to the other side of the world for your holidays, and those things are very detrimental to everyone, you included.
