The climate-cooled farm will suck enough electricity to power up to 40,000 homes, but amazingly will be powered entirely through hydroelectric power, The Daily Mail reports. Frankie the Facebook Eco Walrus gives this eco-friendly server centre a big “Like”!

Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 11:46 AMConsidering the US apparently, may try and shut down sites like FB and siblings, it could be a massive waste of money! All right, the chances of the US actually doing it successfully are slim, but still?

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 10:23 AMI don’t know what your deal mate, but last week an article was posted about the US trying to shut down social sites like FB etc, so if you have a problem with my post, jamb it where the sun don’t shine, twat

Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 12:57 PMYeh, good idea, problem being, if everyone starts doing this, everyone being server sites, will it eventually start to affect the natural environment? Think ‘sticking something hot in your freezer’

Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 11:52 PMThanks for stating the obvious there. But you’d find it’s an architechtual drawing, there was an article on thursday with their plans to build…

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 12:39 AMHonestly, the arctic icecaps aren’t in Sweden.
This project would use _more_ power if cooled conventionally. Also, this centre is fed predominantly by hydropower.
Additionally it’s “arctic”.
While i appreciate your trollscience its still dumb.

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 11:15 PMThe antarctic icecaps are less than 105km from Victoria, the capital of sweden. So it would make sense that such a sorce of tremendous heat being dumped carelessly near the gulf stream would have such a negative impact on our polar caps.

2) It is more than 13 000km from Stockholm to the antarctic.

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 1:47 PMI think you mean square metres… otherwise it means that building is 91 KiloMetres in length – blew my mind at first!

Monday, October 31, 2011 at 11:04 PMI wonder if they use the heat from the servers to keep the roads outside clear? That would be nifty.
