Waste heat from data center might be able to warm local homes
Editor:
In the continuing dialogue between citizens and the proposed data center, another factor to throw in the mix: In Europe and especially Ireland, Finland and Sweden, Microsoft and Google are recycling waste heat from their data centers to warm homes and businesses.
What if the data-center company was able to provide free heat to Orleans and Genesee County homes. Could that be something to negotiate? It works in Europe, why not in New York State?
