There is a solution: solar panels. When you need AC, usually the solar electricity generation are at high levels. A single AC doesn't need much. My 3kW AC takes 5-6kWh on a hot 30+C day to cool down some 70m2
On those days a 10kW installation produced 59kWh and my panels aren't even positioned ideally south - they are something like SW.
So that means 3 out of 25 of my 405W panels fully fed the AC. A few kW solar installation ain't that expensive if one wants to be eco-friendly.
Yes. Solar panels, and air cons for that matter, are as cheap as ever. We europeans can easily afford this.
Insisting on no air con is a cultural phenomenon. We associate it to something unneccessary, unnatural, excessive, distasteful, and wasteful. Our attitude is changing though ...
