Underwater Data Centers and the Green Tech Race | Dayton News
China’s launched a massive underwater data center to slash power use by 23% and harness wind energy—echoing Microsoft’s earlier Project Natick, now used for research, not production. As AI explodes and data centers devour electricity and water like a billion people, this ocean-based approach promises cooling efficiency and local green power. But experts caution: long-term performance is unproven, and marine life risks like thermal pollution and noise loom large. While unlikely to replace land centers—due to accessibility and speed—underwater hubs could become key for sustainable, high-demand…
