Heat pumps!
Upsides:
- can heat and cool
- 300-500% efficiency
- can run with any electric power, e.g. solar or wind, but even if gas power plant still less emissions than a gas furnace
- max solar energy coincides with need for cooling
- no direct greenhouse emissions
- no need for gas lines or delivery
- can't explode
- can't give you carbon monoxide poisoning
- mechanically simple
- cheap
- closed system w/ no consumables
- can double as air filters
- long-lasting
- need little maintenance
- DIY install options (window unit)
- mobile units can serve to keep one room cool if there's no budget to install whole-house
- no need to import gas from evil countries
Downsides:
- replyguys will try to tell you only "vulnerable" people need AC
