If we build enough clean power and grid capacity to accommodate winter peaks from electrification of space heat in colder climates (like most of Europe and North America), we'll have more than enough capacity for carbon-free air conditioning for all. If we win heat, we get AC pretty much for free.
Costa Samaras@costasamaras.com · last mo.Here’s what the air conditioning discourse illuminates: to deal with climate change we need to electrify & we need zero carbon electricity, we also need more electricity- like double or triple what we have. And we need more cooling & cooling equity. There will be folks fighting against all of that.
