I think the cold would only be useful if combined with a heat source -- oh wait, you get heat from parabolic mirrored sunlight and cold from space. In space though, is cold the same phenomena as in our atmosphere? I mean heat or cold as we experience it has to do with the speed of movement of molecules and in the absense of molecules, what do you have?
