Just need to find a way to recycle those 3.00TW beam dumps and they can claim they're a fancy, LEED certified green building.

There's only about 400MJ of energy in each beam, so that's about 110kWh. The beam is dumped a couple of times a day - so it's on the order of a ~10kW continuous source if spread over the whole day. Which isn't nothing, but is about the same heat as generated by an average single datacentre rack...
