    Two of the big reasons:

    1. The efficiency of power generation from heat increases with a larger temperature difference.

    2. Turbines operate via high pressure steam, not just hot water.

    So ya there’s a lot of heat given off but it’s not “high quality” heat because it isn’t hot enough. And if you ran the data center hotter it would destroy the gpus.
