Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Simple or complex, solutions should work before being subsidized by taxpayers or investors and implemented at mass scale.

CCS so far is a false promise to those who want to BELIEVE it could work. Gas and oil wants an excuse to keep fracking, polluting and making more money.
Storing gigatons of CO2 permanently is not a simple problem.
