The grid in Ontario is pretty much all hydro and nuclear. There is no coal. The government of Ontario is actually embarking on a big wind-energy push (I have read that it is the biggest in the world, or the most wind-friendly in the world, or something like that). Here is the site http://www.ontariogreenenergyact.ca/ , although my info is strictly from news reports. Hi Scott. The grid in Ontario is pretty much all hydro and nuclear. There is no coal.

And cheers to you for figuring out how to work on a computer with minimal impact. Is all of your electricity hydro/ nuclear- how does that work?

I haven't found any direct links to people who know how to do this or offer it as a design-style service, but here is a good article on a company that is making it happen and developing: http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/science_technology/Harnessing_computer_heat_can_cut_energy_bills.html?siteSect=511&sid=10931999&rss=true&ty=st Hey Maria- I hear you, heating a building with computer heat is such a great concept.

What are the chances of me having learned about this issue or that cool eco-font had I not had computer access to your blog? I think the good outweighs the bad, however, we can all be more conservative with our computer carbon footprint impact.

It allows me to commute by walking downstairs instead of driving to the nearest big city. My computer has a negative carbon foot print (a carbon footemboss?)

I've heard of people doing this with standard, non-supercomputer server farms, too - basically just by putting them in the basement and being clever about how the ventilation system works - but damned if I can find a link.
