Heat pollution 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 ASU study is the first to directly measure air temperatures downwind and upwind of data centers to record the real-time effects of waste heat on surrounding communities.
Make environment hot enough to boil water
Use steam to power a turbine
Infinite energy
Checkmate liberals
I’m waiting for the Onion article “Data center planned for sun expected to raise temps”
In Phoenix of all places?! That’s just cruel.
AI is a monument to capitalist’s arrogance 🤣
But don’t forget to make sure you separate paper from plastic in your recycling!
Come on, how hot could Phoenix even be? I’m sure it’s fine
Well I suppose you have to burn first before rising from the ashes.
