I’m not sure if it’s an issue specifically around Shanghai, but electric power has been unsteady in China at large. An energy crisis during a heatwave could be indeed deadly, especially with the ambient temperatures of city life. I’m bullish on Chinese acumen for major infrastructure projects and I’m sure they will adapt, but that seems like a crazy costly set of projects. At this point ultrawhite paints look promising.
