Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

    If we moved all data center cooling into the ocean, we would likely reduce the rate of ocean warming from burning fossil fuels (creating heat and CO2) used to power a data center that uses ~40% (on average) of its energy to cool the data center rather than for compute.
