Why aren't they piping that heat into Slough homes?

Because UK tends to have more of the smaller providers rather than a few of the bigger ones. Because of that it's less efficient and more difficult to coordinate

Uk population expected to reach 7.5 million by 2050, UK resources running dry such a dire future the country has education system failing with it

I heard they were planning to use the excess heat to warm local houses?

why can't we use ea water when available

Maybe if the system stays still. In reality data centres will continue to grow

Data and AI tech could be the open door the UK needs to boost its global status and productivity puzzle. Yet, can this happen without affecting the population's water and energy needs?

Yes. The populations water and energy needs will continue to fall as electical devices become more efficient and as homes become better insulated. Better ways of storing electricity and heat will become common place.

Its allright...in 10 years we will figure out fusion and everything will be fine

If only someone had a concept for using water to cool the next generation of data and computation centres and use the heat to warm the nursery beds for indoor greenhouses 😊😂

Water-cooled computers have been around since the 1951. Moving the heat to somewhere that wants to pay for it is the problem. Few people want to pay for what they see as a 'waste' product but unless someone is prepared to pay, there is no money to pay for the pipes to move the heat.

Scottish Highlands has cooler temperatures, loads of water and lots of electricity.
