  1. 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. scienceblog.com/m-a-data-cente

  3. Researchers at our university are developing reversible #heatpumps that provide both heating and cooling year-round using deep #geothermalenergy. This innovation improves #energyefficiency and contributes to sustainable #energysolutions: go.tum.de/988537

  4. Stand.Earth + other B.C. residents launched lawsuit claiming FortisBC is #greenwashing

    Ecojustice and Slater Vecchio LLP highlight FortisBC emphasizing their product is "renewable natural gas" and "more cost-effective and as good or better for the environment than alternatives" (i.e.#HeatPumps)

    FortisBC does not reveal:

    * almost all of their gas is from #FossilFuels

    * near #frackedgas monopoly locks in consumers = 📈 GHG + difficult for #BC to meet #climate goals
