Among The Costs Of War: $20B A Year In A.C.? : NPR
The amount the U.S. military spends annually on air conditioning in Iraq and Afghanistan: $20.2 billion, according to a former Pentagon official.
That's more than NASA's budget. It's more than BP has paid so far for damage during the Gulf oil spill. It's what the G-8 has pledged to help foster new democracies in Egypt and Tunisia.

Saudi Arabia provides AC in the middle of the desert for it's cows and here someone has a problem with supplying it to human beings?
Now it's important to note that wrapped up in Anderson's $20 billion figure are all kind of other expenditures – for instance, the cost of building and maintaining roads in Afghanistan, securing those roads, managing the security operations for those roads. That all costs a lot of money and is part of the overall war effort in Afghanistan.

Saudi Arabia is also the worlds largest exporter of oil. All the power plants (and desalination plants) are run on oil that is extremely subsidized to the point of almost being free. When Ghawar starts to run dry watch that irrigated and electrified desert to return to a desert.
