The world’s largest particle accelerator now has an important new mission: heating thousands of homes. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has begun to funnel the waste heat from its cooling system to a new residential and commercial area in the nearby French town of Ferney-Voltaire, with the new linkup expected to be able to heat several thousand homes at once.
I doubt you can answer but did it just become economically viable?
I’d bet it was viable earlier and someone just figured this out.
Makes me wonder recycling the heat from AI data centers.
