It’s a real concern in the context of changing climates

We need nuclear-powered energy and cooling tech everywhere.

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 looks like there’s a district cooling project in Singapore, unsure of the progress: https://www.spgroup.com.sg/sustainable-energy-solutions/dist...

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.
