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.
the waste heat comes from cryogenics system that keeps all of this helium at below 3K. turns out you need to spend a lot of energy to cool down things to temperatures this low
Yes, well Mr. Smartypants, did you consider that maybe Mr. Freeze and his family were living in Ferney-Voltaire instead of your ‘technically correct’ explanation?!
