So there's a solution for the pollution already working in Denmark.

All data centers in Denmark needs to be hooked up to the central heating system. That means that all data centers are required to use all their heat from the data center to heat up the water for households.

As you can imagine, there's less fossil fuel burned because you now get the heat from this.

I have no idea if this would work in the US, because it means to actually regulate something.

Wouldn't work in the United States as there is no central heating system.

Central heating systems are still pretty local. Maybe some states could do it?
