Dyson FansAs the world's climate heats up, will we continue to use more energy-intensive air conditioning, generating ever-higher greenhouse gas emissions? It's a valid question for the first full day of summer, considering that the average American household already uses 2,822 kWh of energy each year to cool off, spending $276 a year. The answer will likely depend on building efficiency measures and new cooling technologies like these efficient new bladeless fans announced today by Sir James Dyson, of vacuum fame. The inventor's new fan is the opening salvo, he says, in his war on air conditioning.1
