It’s now or never if humans hope to prevent the mercury from increasing by 1.5° It’s possible to construct off-grid charging stations, but they come with hassles, such as storing power when the sun doesn’t shine. Wiring to the grid requires a licensed contractor certified in local electrical codes, which must be standardized.

In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes plunged a mercury wire into liquid helium and noticed that the wire’s electrical resistance vanished. Once the coil is charged, the energy can be stored nearly indefinitely with little to no decay, provided that the cooling is maintained. The wire had become a “superconductor.”

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. So far, SkyCool has installed panels at a number of grocery stores across the United States.

That figure does not include damages from climate change, harm to ecosystems, effects of some air pollutants such as mercury, and risks to national security, which the report examines but does not monetize. Life-cycle CO 2 emissions from nuclear, wind, biomass, and solar power appear to be negligible when compared with fossil fuels.
