Hmmm - this data center pushes out a lot of heat. I wonder what it could be used for? How about heating homes!

Data Center in Denmark shows how to turn a cooling problem into a heating solution for thousands of households.

Water from the city’s district heating network is run through the data center’s cooling units, where it is warmed. The water then goes to a nearby plant full of heat pumps, which boosts the temperature before the water goes out to heat homes.

Here is the KEY to making this work. The tech involved is simple.

The hard part is having a pipe network already in the ground and being relatively close to the houses to be heated. https://scienceblog.com/m-a-data-center-in-denmark-gives-away-heat-that-data-centers-often-waste-it-runs-water-from-the-citys-heating-network-through-its-cooling-units-and-into-heat-pumps-that-raise-it-enou/ #DataCenters #DataCenter #Cooling #Heating #Electricity #ElectricGrid #HeatPumps #ElectricPower

Climate change is a systemic problem that requires a systemic solution, but there are some things that individuals can do to help fix it: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20241231-seven-proven-ways-to-help-the-planet

Even in Vermont. “Even in cold weather, electric #heatpumps are more #energyefficient than the gas or oil #furnaces that heat many homes. Heat pumps don’t generate heat. They transfer it. That allows them to achieve more than 300 percent #efficiency in some cases. Because they are more #efficient, using heat pumps to cool and heat homes can help homeowners save money on their #utility bills.” https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/02/22/climate/heat-pumps-extreme-cold.html
