What Happens When Facebook Heats Your Home

Description

Henrik Lund, a professor of energy planning at Denmark's Aalborg University, comments on the energy consumption of data centres. He states that even though these centres may use renewable energy, they still require more energy than homes heated directly by wind turbines. Mr Lund also notes that by 2030, data centres will account for 14% of Denmark's total energy consumption. (Summary provided by Infomedia). Sources:World of Software, 26-07-2024
