But if you want to move the heat away from a CPU, wouldn't you want to pump more electricity into the Peliter element to move heat away faster?

On a High-End Desktop Chip? YES! Intel made such a cooler recently[1]. But on mobile/low power devices it might be worthwhile to have them run a little warmer (within spec) but take the heat energy back via a peltier element. Would be interesting to see such an element directly on die feeding back into the chip directly, sort of an electric rebreather for a chip.
