I always say that it’s a bit ridiculous that we have to have air conditioners blasting in the summer and heat blasting in the winter. When it’s winter in the US, it’s summer in Brazil. Why can’t we built some kind of superinsulated pipeline that pumps the “summer” from Brazil to our cold “winter” cities? If they can do it for gas, I’m sure they can do it for air.
To bring my stupid concept to reality on a micro scale is a new computer center in Switzerland. It is making novel use of the hot air thrown off by its servers and communications equipment: The heat is being funneled next door to warm the local swimming pool.
