Sustainability and open air heated swimming pools


I'm traveling through a state well-known world-wide for its virtue-signaling on sustainability (climate/environmental).

My motel has an open air heated swimming pool and hot tub. And it's cold outside.

All of yesterday, I was the only person who used either.

Two vats containing thousands of gallons of water. One heated to a very high temperature, the other to a slightly lower temperature. All year long, 24/7. Steam constantly rising from both.

How do they (the state's government/activists/citizens) justify this? Is this energy coming from a green source and cannot be used elsewhere?

I don't think I see the connection between a state's population on average being climate conscious, and a single business entity doing something wasteful. Are you saying this is some kind of "gotcha" against the activists because they're not picketing the hotel?
