Cold War: How Air Conditioning Made America and Exposed Europe

A European heat wave. A cooling system failure at EU headquarters. And one of history's most underrated inventions.
This week, Roger traces air conditioning from ancient Persian windcatchers to Willis Carrier's Brooklyn print shop to the explosive rise of Houston, Phoenix, and the American Sun Belt — and explains why a humble machine may have quietly helped make the U.S. the dominant economy on earth.
Then he turns to the headlines: why Brussels bureaucrats kept their own offices cool while cutting AC for everyone below them, and how Germany's decision to exit nuclear power left it dangerously dependent on Russian gas — a story that runs straight through Gerhard Schröder's Gazprom paycheck to the war in Ukraine.
History, current events, and a few opinions you won't hear anywhere else. That's The Roger Retrospective.
