But what about the less attractive countries?

Meanwhile, everyone should note what's going on here (in the post, not in my whining about Adam's blogsperiority) -- people noticing an excess of energy in one place not far from where more energy is needed. If there were one trick we really need people to master, this might be it.

And take the heat from where it needs to be removed, a hot building needing cooling, and move it underground where it can be easily absorbed.
Geo heat exchange heating and cooling. Only pipes, pumps, and circulating fluid is needed. Use a heat envelope system or insert a heat pump where the temperature difference is unfavorable to the heat flow, oulia! A very low power heating/cooling solution, well served by a solar PV system on the roof.
Animals, bacteria, humans, all provide extra heat. Alpine montain homes were built over the barn bermed into a hillside. The animals heating the home.
