You could even do district heating. Use the hot water output from the data centre and sell it cheap for piping into appartment blocks for heating.
Good idea, but corporations arent usually in the business of taking care of towns or workers.
See now you're thinking way too progressive. If its not raping the environment, you're doing it wrong.
Too smart for capitalism where cheap > efficient
It's why a vast majority of buildings in the US are designed without the local climate in mind (ie using passive heating and cooling systems for that climate). They let HVAC handle making the same design hospitable for all regions. It's the lowest cost design and build for the highest sale price. All energy and maintenance costs after sale are the consumer's problem. Relevant podcast episode about how dumb our building designs are due to AC. It has some staggering figures i don't remember offhand.
