Why can’t we recapture heat from data centers and use it to make more energy?
Data centers apparently use a lot of water for cooling. Hypothetically, if we were to build data centers near power plants, is there a way we could repurpose that energy back into heating the water for a nearby power plant and recoup some of it instead of just wasting a bunch of fresh water and heat?
