I have my doubts they will be able to operate this at required temperature. It's hard to even keep a single room cool with 24000btu window unit and no AI in it . They should put all these things in Canada near the hydroelectric on the pnw coast where the temps are always cool and electricity is cheap and waste heat is useful for the green house industry
