It's all very clever, but think about the cost and complexity. Installations, management, real estate, physical security etc.
I'm quite confident that even making optimal use of the excess heat you would end up with less money than with their solution. I don't think companies want maximum energy efficiency. They want maximum cost efficiency.
- vortico 8y agoExactly, cooling is expensive but not as much as human resources. With a sinkable data center, you could put it next to any coastal or riverside city.
- nabla9 8y agoThe technology is already proven and saving money. > physical security etc. Physical security is not a problem. It's not like the city utilities manage the cooling of the data center. There are heat exchangers between. If there is problem with city utilities, the heated sea water goes back to the sea.
