Bummer!
But we could change that slightly (?): what about process that produces an enormous amount of radiation? In space you can just dump those pesky photons in the backyard, while on Earth there’s always someone that owns this or that piece of land.
High-intensity computing generates waste heat, though. You can’t turn waste heat into directed energy within the laws of thermodynamics.
