Why can’t we Generate Power with Air Conditioning?

The Vapour Compression Cycle is rather effecient, over 300% in some cases. Why couldn’t we use that to create a near limitless amount of energy by drawing heat from the atmosphere and using it to boil water to power a turbine?

Because that’s bullshit. Energy can’t be created, only transformed, so an efficiency of 300% is physically impossible and would break one of the most basics laws of nature. It may be 300% more efficient than an alternative solution, but that doesn’t mean it has a positive efficiency overall
