If you have some $$, you can derive air conditioning from a heat pump connected to a subterranean well or array of pipes. It's often called a 'ground sourced heat pump'. Installing the system is expensive, especially if they have to drill a 225 foot well through a lot of rock to sink the pipes, but once you can use the deep subsurface as a heat sink and a source of coolness, running the system is very cheap, not much more than electricity to run the fan and compressor.

I'd give up my car before any of the other stuff. I can use bike or public transport.

I didn't turn on the AC for weeks but I'll be damned if I'm living in a house that's 88 damn degrees Fahrenheit
