How did France and Denmark do it during the 70s oil crisis? Essentially by making sure it affected everyone and just getting on with it.

Big Heat Pumps Are Doing Big Things

TIL that a village close to mine installed a district heating system for 300 homes, a combination of solar power, ground and air source heat pumps with storage and backup electric heaters.
I thought this was only achievable in larger towns/cities!
Free heating from data center
The Tallaght District Heating Scheme is the first large-scale district heating network of its kind in Ireland. The network currently supplies heat to a number of public and residential buildings in the area using waste heat from the nearby Amazon data centre.
Welche Technologien eignen sich besonders, um Wärme zu speichern? Damit haben sich die Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) und die Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm in zwei aufeinander aufbauenden Studien beschäftigt.
🔥 District heating is becoming one of the most important use cases for nuclear power and Korea is taking it seriously. Finland’s Steady Energy and Korea District Heating Corporation have signed an MoU to cooperate on SMRs designed specifically for heat. Their LDR-50 reactor is small, underground, and built for dense cities where stable, clean heat matters more than electricity. ❄️ And for northern countries, this isn’t an abstract climate discussion. Russia already uses nuclear for district heating, China is expanding the concept, Korea is now studying it, and Finland is preparing to build its first dedicated heating SMR. When temperatures hit –30 or –40C, the question is simple: can your heating system survive the winter? 🇰🇿 In Kazakhstan this topic is especially relevant. Our district heating networks break every year, and people depend on fragile infrastructure and stable fuel supply just to stay warm. Reliable nuclear heat could change that equation entirely. 🌍 As more countries look at SMRs not just for power but for heat, are we entering a new era where nuclear becomes the backbone of winter survival in cold climates?
