It would be nice to re-think the necessity of AC, as well. It's been around for quite a long time and the ineffectiveness are crazy (same thing with whole-house heating). Why heat or cool your house and deal with the insulation problems that come from having doors and windows and walls and exposure to sun or wind on one side? Your house doesn't get hot or cold, it doesn't care. You get hot and cold.

Supercomputers run on batteries for an entire day or more in our pockets. Powerful mobile gaming machines can be run from a USB socket. There has to be a way to cool me down in the summer without needing to cool my entire house (and watch as the cold air streams out underneath my door).
