San Jose plans to build a data center integrated with new housing development.

The power for data centers eventually becomes heat-- the heat can be captured and used for domestic water heating and space heating, thus displacing the need for gas or electricity for those purposes.

It's not a cure by any means, but it moves in the right direction.

PS, we all use data centers when we use Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple Cloud services, email, etc. etc.

Everyone on this discussion board is using data centers.

Those who single out Bitcoin and AI are missing the bigger picture.

Take care, Mo!
