Energy needs to be expanded in a new way. Long term societal forces require new concepts to provide thermal management. In thermoelectric devices, current runs through a thermoelectric junction to generate heat. This process can provide heat and be run in reverse to cool. Heating in seats of cars using this method, gets the heat to the passenger at a 50 times more efficient rate than traditional air conditioning.
