United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So it's eco friendly because... checks notes... someone else is paying the electricity bill? I don't think that's how things work...
Its eco-friendly because the waste heat is being used to heat the home methane isnt being burnt to provide that heat. Data centres are needed unless you want to scrap the internet entirely.
It halves the power needed. Instead of pumping heat out into the air, and using separate power to heat a house, it used the heat to heat the house. Sounds pretty eco to me.
It looks like they also installed a solar and battery array too so some of the electricity will be coming from there. I can imagine it will be getting more expensive getting into winter with the short days though.
