People seem to be misunderstanding what's going on here. Running the particle accelerator generates a lot of heat and thus needs a pretty large scale cooling system. What this is saying is instead of dumping the heat into the atmosphere pump it towards homes.
Is this a good source of heating? I mean yeah, the heat is being generated anyways. Should you build a particle accelerator to heat homes? Fuck no. But if you already have one, why not?
- direwolf20 9mo agoWho is misunderstanding that?
- godelski 9mo agoConsidering the top comment is a joke about Bitcoin mining, another a joke about the Sun, April Fools, conspiracy, and a question about what homes (obviously local), it seems like quite a few. Or maybe I'm misreading and HN really is becoming Reddit because the thread is full of low quality comments off topic. I wasn't surprised to see most accounts are at most a few years old
