Germans will read that article and then double down on their disdain toward air conditioning.

I live in the American sunbelt and my residential AC has basically been out the last week. I can easily see why this region was such a backwater until air conditioning became widespread.

It’s a real concern in the context of changing climates
I support nuclear but no everywhere because not everywhere is safe or have people with knowledge to manage nuclear. I mean there are places with not strong energy infra. and security.

I never understood though, why the air conditioning of Singapore is not centralized. One heat chimney
It makes a lot of sense to do district cooling in Singapore, surprised it didn’t happen earlier but laying all those pipes in an existing city can be challenging. Both of the major cities in my metro area have district cooling and heating, and so does the local land grant university.

More things can go wrong with condensation in one giant system than thousands of less complex systems?

We need nuclear-powered energy and cooling tech everywhere.
Such systems are widely advertised on AliBaba for not much money eg. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/24000btu-36000btu-Gre...
