Yes, it would be "cool", literally speaking. That would at least save me $30. Or in some people's cases, close to $200. Which can go towards a better, well, anything really.

Then they would either run very hot, or draw very little power. Since there are no moving parts to turn the electricity into kinetic energy all the energy consumed by the cpu is turned into heat.

But he is saying, hypothetically, that IF they don't need one. Meaning, the CPU will not run hot. But, in reality, your right about the drawing little power and the heat. In this world, you know, with physics and stuff, that is impossible. But an interesting concept to dream about.
I can think of two ways that cpus wouldn't need cooling. First would be a complete design change that allowed for almost no power draw.
The second would be that the device would have to somehow create mass and then it would disipate heat according to e=mc^2, where e is the energy, m is the mass, and c is the planck constant (speed of light). You'd need to have a tray to collect/empty the mass...I've thought about this too long already.
