This is the argument in a report, "Scale and Secure: Powering Europe's Digital Sovereignty," which asserts that progress will depend not so much on access to the right silicon as on water and energy constraints.
Integration between server halls and district heating networks is another aspect worth consideration, the report adds. Realizing the potential of excess heat reuse depends less on technical feasibility than on institutional and contractual alignment, with the main barrier being negotiations between datacenter operators, district heating utilities, and municipalities.
