Microsoft to power data center from sewage, landfills

Last year it announced it was building a data center inside an old barn that was partly open to outside air so it could take advantage of natural air circulation and heat leakage as part of its plan to cool the place.
It ran a prototype data center in a tent for seven months to make sure the idea would work.
Earlier this month it announced it was building one in Wyoming, which isn't that innovative in itself, but how many data centers have you ever visited in Wyoming? (The state offered $10 million in incentives for a data center Microsoft said will cost $112 million to build.)  By Kevin Fogarty
