Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.

    That will help offset the chilling cold they suffer from in Phoenix!

    They gave up on getting a permit for the data centre in Death Valley?

    In the meantime there’s a whole thread full of comments on the new Chinese underwater data centers talking about how they don’t heat up shit. Funny how China keeps coming up with these solutions that are perfect and the rest of the world just somehow can’t…

    Edit: /s on Chinese solutions being perfect since that seems to have been less obvious than I thought it was.

      Of course those data centers heat up, too. They heat up the water, which in turn heats up the air. You pump electricity into data centers, and this electricity turns to 100% into heat, everywhere in the world.
