The difficulty is, to put it in very simple terms, is that physics doesn't allow that. The less simple explanation is a thermodynamics textbook, and trust me, you don't want that.
Everything generates heat. Everything. Everything. Anything that seems to generate "cold" is generating more heat somewhere else.
Note your use of the word "cool."
A condenser will generate the same amount of heat that they are trying to dissipate.
Sure they can write laws making it illegal to claim the king of Thailand is a doddering old fool anywhere in the world. Good for them.
They have no legal right to enforce it on me, though. If I visit their country, of course, I will be subject to their laws. But they can't apply it to me until then.
They can write whatever they like, but in practical terms, they can only enforce their laws inside their borders.
No European law applies outside Europe. That's kind of the nature of laws.
I suspect that the reaction to the edited video spooked them. They were expecting to get away with that, and when it was so easily called pot as a fraud, they had to reconsider.
Back when I lived in N. Carolina, there was a local brand called "Dr. Enuff." Loved that stuff.
On earth? No, not by a long shot. We would need to get into the deconstructing planets business.
I was thinking this myself.
I love me some Stratigo.
I'm an actual engineer with a degree and everything, although this is not my area of expertise, it's one I'm familiar with.
They could do something like you suggest, but every step becomes more expensive and less effective. The exhaust from a coal fired power plant is still plenty hot, and more energy could be extracted from it. But it requires more and more to make less and less.
The curse of every engineer is to see a way to them every waste stream into a useful product, but not being able to do so profitably. (Which means no-one will approve the project)
