I’m tinkering with combining liquid cooling with waste heat electricity generation as a way to cut down on datacenter energy use. I think it’s cool because datacenters consume 1-2% of all electricity generated worldwide, and roughly half of that goes to air conditioning. If it’s viable, it might make a measurable dent in CO2 emissions.
