This is an excellent idea

Air conditioners. Lot of money is spent cooling them.

According to that link 1% of the world’s electricity goes on cooling data centres. That’s an enormous amount.

If we can use the heat generated by data centres more effectively (and consequently reduce cooling costs) then that could be a massive win.

Edit: this link shows how a larger data centre can provide hot water to over 10% of Denmark’s third largest city.

Don't let Linus see this.

This one is the size of a washing machine and can heat a municipal swimming pool 60% of the time, it currently costs around £300k a year to heat a pool in the UK, which is around what 300 houses worth of central heating costs.

Even after allowing for an order of magnitude difference in efficiencies between heating a body of water and homes you wouldn't be looking at huge amounts of space.

I don’t think the data centers large enough to be useful are the best use of space in areas dense enough for district heat.

30°C is equivalent to 86°F, which is 303K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

If a "washing machine sized data center" can heat a pool to 30°C then holy hell what are we doing with actual data centers????

Finally a bit of joined up thinking.

Now can we use this on a bigger scale for district heating?

It’s a data lake!

Have oil tankers and cargo ships disperse it into the ocean? Wouldn't be perfect, but better than dumping a lot of bicarbonate in a smaller location.

The BBc headline writers once again seem to have charged by the letter, however, the most important things to point out are that the data centre is able to fulfill the swimming pools heating needs 60 % of the time without assistance and this has the ability to save the swimming pool thousands.

Also men live longer in more equal countries. The flipside of seeing women as delicate and unfit for leadership roles is seeing men as disposable and not caring about them dying in war or in workplace accidents, or from health issues.

Wish they did a simular investment in Greece after the Tempi accident.

*gasp*"they we're book nerds"

This isn't good news, one group of Christians with a ling history of destroying polythiestic religious artifacts and sites is giving it to another one. This should go to the greek government to Hellenistic recreationists or something, not a religion that is still detroying artifacts of a polythiestic nature.

That’s nice. The US is doing something similar except we’re spending $500b, and instead of building infrastructure we’re supporting a proxy war in Europe, and bailing-out banks who took your money to the casino

You are totally right. I'm glad to hear that you have those techniques, you must have very good therapist/counselor

ScotRail serve all of Scotland and Northern are one of the Largest operators in the country.

I don't really know why the distance they cover or the amount of services is being questioned. It's not even a metric the RMT use and they're vehemently opposed to privatisation.
