Can't read the article (paywalled) so I'm basing myself on what I see

> Green electricity means never having to say sorry for lowering the thermostat

I literally just read some reports yesterday day about how AC can be a pathological solution.

It's not about the energy being green or not, it's that independently of the energy source AC is a heat pump, so it pumps heat out into the air, which makes the air inside cooler, but hotter outside; and for that, green or not, it needs to put in energy to do the work, which results in _even more heat_.

At scale a.k.a cities this creates measurable bubbles of heat (+1-2degC) around AC'd places.

As Desty Nova puts it in Gunnm (a.k.a Battle Angel Alita):

    Now becomes the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
