I thought about this too. It would be really nice if there was a central compressor that will pump that cold gas into ACs and refrigerators of multiple homes. I think that will be a lot greener than the other stuff suggested by Scott Adams.

Finland is now doing that for industry and warehouse refrigeration, and for some large retailers too. It might eventually find its way into homes too.

Finnish retailers are also converting en masse to refrigeration units which have a cover/door. It is a big investment to convert, but it also saves about 35% of the energy.

All new installs are of course with the doors.
