Fascinating: • "Data centres consume vast amounts of energy — about 3 per cent of all the electricity generated in Britain, for example. About two-thirds of the total is used simply for cooling." • "Global emissions of carbon dioxide from data centres are now equivalent to about a third of the total from aviation and are rising by 10 per cent per year."

I like it! I have heard Google uses vast amounts of power for bare motherboards to power their web crawling. Maybe they could do some cloud computing and let the heat warm our toes. Great idea!
