“So I mentioned at the beginning that we're around four percent of greenhouse gas emissions for air conditioners globally, and that's a big number. I think most of the people who are listening to this podcast will be well calibrated to that number, but It's close to twice as many emissions as come from the entire aviation industry.”

Rivest: Alternative cooling technologies are not close to commercial market deployment

Rivest: Heat pump mandates accelerate the retirement of inefficient air conditioners
“What I think is really interesting about all these heat pumps coming online for heating purposes to replace natural gas is that this disrupts the sales cycle of air conditioners as well as a side benefit. So now you have air conditioners, which would last for …”
