Yeah, another clueless hippie, with a silly political conspiracy tale
when it's obvious that the real reason is that it's not practical or worth
it to use outside air for a fridge. The amount of energy a fridge uses in
total isn't much, what it uses in winter helps heat the living space. Even
if it worked perfectly, the difference would be small. Running
ducts outside would not only be a pain in the neck, but it would require a
more powerful fan, cost a significant amount of money, and introduce it's
own energy losses, eg the ducts would be leaking heat into the living space
in summer, taking it out during winter, any protrusions through the walls
wind up leaking air too, etc.

it's amazing that you can get a split A/C that would easily accomplish
this without ducting

But how much food will a split A/C hold? Yes, instead of ducting outside
air to the fridge, you could turn fridges into split systems, with
the condenser outside. But I think every rational person here sees
all the many issues and increased costs associated with doing it
that way too, to solve a very small alleged problem. The silly hippie
lib that restarted this old thread, is he a relative of yours?
Perhaps you two could get a room together and go in business marketing
such a great appliance innovation......
