In an ideal world I think data center waste heat would be captured for use in a district thermal grid / seasonal thermal energy store like the one in Vantaa.

Yes, this would be the ideal for dealing with that issue. Re-use that heat to generate some of the energy the data center is demanding.

Imagine there’s an engineering & physics issue to be solved. But where would we find those top talent people to solve it?
