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

    The amount of heat we would put in the ocean from this would be like pouring a cup of hot water into one of the great lakes. This isn’t a issue and would be better for the environment as we are not using all these power hungry ways to cool them.

      True, this is putting less heat into the atmosphere than running air conditioners to move the heat outside before radiating it away.
