data-center waste heat is vented to the atmosphere while neighbouring buildings burn fuel for heating
#00211
Almost all electricity a data-center draws leaves as low-grade heat at 30–40 °C, typically rejected to air. Neighbouring buildings burn gas to produce the same heat. Where reuse works it is substantial, but temperature, price, infrastructure, and regulatory gaps block it nearly e
