Explanation:
The author introduced a clause within the sentence explaining how ‘air conditioning has taken root among big corporations’ was at first introduced by a DASH, but then later concluded with a comma. In order to make this consistent, one must do either of the following:
1. ...air conditioning—which is blah blah blah....powerful corporations—uses the simple power of ice. (replace comma with dash at the end)
OR
2. ...air conditioning, which is blah blah blah....powerful corporations, uses the simple power of ice. (replace dash with comma at the beginning)
Basically, when introducing a clause when breaking a sentence, either use 2 commas or a dash. dont use a mix of both. Hope this helped!
In my view all of the written above fits to definition of colloquial English. It's type of informal speech that applies idioms, slang etc. The one thing is not recommended in colloquial English is the usage of rude words. But it depends on region where you speak. There are differend idioms and slang in every region.
