Wired Gadget Lab reports of another Green innovation IBM is in the process of developing:

Massive supercomputers that devour electricity to keep them humming are not exactly the poster children for green technology. But IBM hopes to change that with its plans to build a supercomputer that will use water to keep the system cool and even recycle some of the waste heat to help heat the university where it’s housed.

The technology could lead to a reduction in overall energy consumption by at least 40 percent, when compared to similar air-cooled machines, says the company.
