The air conditioning paradox solved?

[thegodofcycle]

This is why we need Nuclear Fusion Power Plants. The ultimate in clean energy.

Honey, do you know what a paradox is? This ain't it.

I don't care about stabilizing thee power net. But I care about health and costs. The best way to do what was described is to produce and use the power yourself. Use as much as you can, and sell the rest. Use as few power as you can while your solar panels don't produce power. Because doing different is throwing money at companies that don't care about you or the world.

There's a system that you can use to actually cool a house down better than any other system. What you do is you build a concrete bunker that is about the size of a A/C unit. Make sure that it is sealed off to the outside air, but has ducting to bring air from the house into the area and feed it back up to the house. You have water drip over the concrete slabs, which will cool the slabs down, and cool the air inside the concrete bunker. As you pull air from the house into the bunker, the bunker will cool the air, and put it in the house, as the house heats it up, it is pulled back down into the bunker to be cooled. The only thing you need would be a hose system and a fan. Problem would be solved better. Because the problem with modern day A/C units has nothing to do with the electricity and the release of CO2 into the atmosphere if you are running off a Nuclear power plant. The problem is that in order for your A/C unit to work, the condenser has to release heat from unit outside the house in order to release cool air inside your house. It's why if you want to cool your house down, opening up your fridge and freezer will actually cause your house to heat up not cool down. Sure you can get cool air at the point of where it comes into the fridge, but that compressor in the back will actually release more heat than the fridge reduces.

dont forget that the energy that solar panels get from the sun is now absorbed by the earth instead of reflecting. this couses the earth to heat up even more.

You still create more heat than "cold" with the AC... So by turning the AC on you heat up the planet

[gafrers]

Isn't "Stabilize the power grid" a bit of an over-simplification due to most solar Electric meters being "dumb" even where the grid is "smart"?
I understand the fact that using PV to power Air conditioning reduces demand from the grid but it's not all that easy, especially with how some MPPT work.

[OlibrrSalbee]

Shall we build solar energy plants correctly, it would be super beneficial

[TheNetwork]

most of the world doesent ahve conditions that are clear enough for optimal solar use

[caseynimmo]

A large portion of this issue isn't the energy being used by the AC systems but the chemicals that are used for AC and refrigeration such r-12 and r-134a.

[tynerius]

What do you do with the OLD solar panels and HOW many ppl use Air Conditioners over there.

[RegisMichelLeclerc]

The problem is not carbon, it's greenhouse effect, which make air conditioning even worse than said, because of the amount of steam released to cool the air, whatever the energy you use to power the AC. Get your facts straight...
