Air conditioning is more energy intensive than heating, but is just as necessary in many places to keep people safe and healthy, especially in the post climate change era (heat stroke is real and real deadly). We need more innovations to make cooling more efficient and morw accessible, but everyone seems to just be focusing on heating and just accepting that the most common cooling methods are really inefficient.
