You're thinking of a "swamp cooler". ecch! I've got a Trane SEER 13 combo A/C and "real" heat pump. Works great up here in the mountains (7000" above sea level).

LOL! That's 7000' not 7000"!
So you boil petroleum simply from the friction of pumping it into the cracking tower?
LOL! Water is to hard to come by around here.
So you never actually were there when the cracking towers were in operation. Got it.
Hmm, that is the same 700 ton NON-nuclear test that Utah is attempting to prevent from happening at the Nevada test site because they are worried about stirring up old debris from Frenchman Flats.

Only if you add enough of Bill's hot air in the process.

Also releases more radioactive carbon than a small nuke.

The better old burners had forced air to keep a smaller flame hotter with less soot. Bummer but all used motor oil has a pretty good load of sulfur in it.
There is one still in use in a nearby community as of a couple years ago.
It is not as efficient as Freon but there is no shortage of water around here..
That is why you had to clean your furnace and chimney annually.
Safety isn't rocket science, it is common sense.
SLAC is supposed to be shutting down soon and the Waxahachie unit never got beyond prairie dog stage. Not that particle accelerators are used for fusion. Some folks use tokomaks, most now use pulsed lasers and pellets.

Oil burners were way cleaner than burning uncured softwoods in furnaces, fireplaces, room stoves, etc. Rarely did our local fire department get a chimney fire call for oil burning houses, but wood burning ones happened all the time. In a year, a big wood furnace would put about an inch of gunk on the inside of the chimney.

Mainly yuppies who don't know how to burn cleanly or properly select seasoned wood.
There weren't any yuppies yet. These were folks who had grown up in the area prior to the availability of gas and you'd think they'd know better. But then the grain elevators used to detonate every now and then as well.
