With ten days to go, there seems to be little appetite for KOSA or age-verification bills in general.

i'm not sure that greenwashing AI hype is really what we need here.
Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
