    heck, if the servers already run so hot, why not skip the falderol with mirrors, and run steam turbines out the back of the racks as heat sinks, powering ac for the center?

    Think GreenGoogle definitely has their own way of doing things and it's nice to see a large company putting their money where their mouth is and leading the way in developing a technology that the whole world could use.

    This is truly excellent news for all of us. As I've written extensively at www.2greenenergy.com, solar thermal -- probably with molten salt energy storage and HVDC transmission, really is the best renewables option for North America. Thanks for the great news. - Craig Shields
