Does the article refer to air conditioning in fossil fuel cars? I'm not sure about the US, but here air conditioning in homes is all electric. Some have oil heating, though.
The most affordable energy source for generating electricity is fossil fuels, in most cases.

Right, but your electricity is very expensive. The developing world (where they have heat waves) can't afford to run AC at European energy prices.
