Air conditioners powered by what?

Yea, that is why I ended with "regenerating some electricity." But if you used solar or wind power, then it would be even more "heat negative."

 

I wasn't serious when I started writing that post; but the more the idea developed, the more it seemed theoretically possible. I just don't know if enough (relatively dense) heated air could be channeled up to a point where it would lose heat and either fall back or be released. Depending on how the tube was insulated, you might be able to overcome gravity with buoyancy, istm. But I'm more of a biophysical chemist than a physical ecoengineer; so could use some critique of that seemingly crazy idea.

except the windmill that i would use doesn't depend on the weather

It would depend on an alternate source of energy though since that whole gravity force thing has to be overcome...
