or another good idea
putting the (underwater) data center on nuclear power, like the submarines,
Data centers are huge power consumers, requiring energy both to run the equipment they house and for the air conditioning to prevent the servers from overheating. Research by the European Commission suggests that the information and communications technology industry as a whole creates up to 2% of the world’s carbon emissions, and data centers have fastest-growing carbon footprint in the sector.
