This is being tried in parts of the US as well. Here's a story from a few years ago about a ski resort in Vermont that is trying it: https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=df6dd068-a73a-43a0-9653-c7926b6b26f9&appid=1165 https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popov... It made me wonder how feasible this might be at home, mostly for fun, but potentially as a source for summer cooling. Anyone have links to techniques that might work on a tiny scale?

It includes a map of where this is being done. Looks like this one in Vermont is the only attempt in the US.
