Here’s How We Could Brighten Clouds to Cool the Earth Geoengineering—altering the planet to mitigate the worst effects of climate change—is an idea that has taken on new currency of late.

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. In the case of moving water, a turbine harvests the energy in the flow to generate hydroelectricity.
