12. Who will, in a timely way, manufacture the many millions of AC units for France this summer?

It just can't happen that fast

Manufacture probably wouldn't be in France, and in additions to lead time to assemble factory capacity and materials there would be shipping involved from far away states that still manufacture appliances. AC is probably in EUropes future but it just won't arrive in time for this summer.

France must figure out how to cool down with very old technology... like towels that wipe the wetness that makes sweating inefficient, and like misters that will introduce wetness that can cool as it evaporates, like spending time in subway tunnels, basements. and other innately cool locations. We can spread ourselves out spread eagle on the ground and exchange heat to the earth. Not particularly 'techy' but possible.
