You must have been snoozing in class...LOL

Yes, heat = energy, thus ==> Remove heat = Remove energy.

Heat energy is wasted energy that doesn't make the car move. Making a particular part hotter or cooler can make it more efficient or less efficient, depending on the part. Cooling off a wire doesn't make anything more efficient...it might keep the wire from coming loose, but that's it.
