Very true. Though it may redistribute it somewhat. Slightly more down onto surfaces within the window's reflection, and less on the tops of buildings where a/c units generally are. Though again, all very minimal changes.

The volume inside of buildings is so dwarfed by the volume outside that it really wouldn't make much of a difference unless you're right beside it. Much like air conditioning.

It was built extremely quickly & inexpensively, and seems to serve its purpose very well.

From the perspective of an outsider who doesn't speak Spanish, Monterrey really seems to be setting a high bar for government effectiveness. That metro system is a tremendous accomplishment.

Reply to Solar energy in Europe will be 10 times cheaper than gas by 2030 by EnergyTransitionNews
Doesn't matter if you can't move the power from places where the sun's out to places where it's not. Europe, like North America, needs dramatically more transmission capacity. There is some good work being done from Ireland to England & the Continent, but there needs to be quite a bit more, particularly from Norway.
