so, we can dojobs down from 20cm up to 2m high. i m not an expert in flooring installation, but it looks to me like it s done a pretty good job. thanks, paul. nicejob, paul, thank you. now, then, we are a tech show and we can t avoid the fact that tech is a heavy user of electricity. tech is contributing to global emissions. for example, there are data centres all over the world filled with power hungry computers but also filled with power hungry cooling systems. some data centres are being moved north so they can use the naturally colder air but there are other options, too. microsoft has been running an experimentjust off the coast of orkney and they put a data centre underwater. what could possibly go wrong?! let s find out. lucas joppa is chief environmental officer at microsoft. lucas, welcome. so, the idea with this is you are using colder seawater to cool the computers? yes, exactly. you asked what could go wrong. it turns out when you put
while also helping to decarbonise the electrical grids that we of course operate on but so does everybody else. lucas joppa, thank you for your time. thank you. one way to help save the planet from carbon emissions is to drive electric, but although electric car sales have taken off, with more than double the number being registered in the uk this year compared to last year, many of us who may be considering a jump are still worried about running out of charge. nearly half of homes don t have a place to park, which means you can t have a charger at home, but dan s found something that may be able to help. thanks, lara. i want to show you a world first, at least for us ordinary drivers, consumers. now, maybe your ev is a little bit low on juice but you can t just charge it up anywhere, and there really is no such thing as a jerry can for electric vehicles, so you can just top them up. well, not at the moment. this isjonathan, he comes from a company called
things suspended timber floors and floors which have less than 20% moisture. so we can do jobs down from 20cm up to 2m high. i m not an expert in flooring installation, but it looks to me like it s done a pretty good job. thanks, paul. nicejob, paul, thank you. now, then, we are a tech show and we can t avoid the fact that tech is a heavy user of electricity. tech is contributing to global emissions. for example, there are data centres all over the world filled with power hungry computers but also filled with power hungry cooling systems. some data centres are being moved north so they can use the naturally colder air, but there are other options as well. microsoft has been running an experimentjust off the coast of 0rkney and they put a data centre underwater. what could possibly go wrong? let s find out. lucas joppa is chief environmental officer at microsoft. welcome. so the idea with this is you are using colder

do as well, and i think that s really the single place that tech has to really make sure that it is helping transform, taking care of its own house while also helping to decarbonise the electrical grids that we of course operate on but so does everybody else. lucas joppa, thank you for your time. thank you. one way to help save the planet from carbon emissions is to drive electric, but although electric car sales have taken off, with more than double the number being registered in the uk this year compared to last year, many of us who may be considering a jump are still worried about running out of charge. nearly half of homes don t have a place to park, which means you can t have a charger at home, but dan s found something that may be able to help. thanks, lara. i want to show you a world first, at least for us ordinary drivers, consumers. now, maybe your ev is a little bit low on juice, but you can t just charge it up anywhere,
