Does it really make sense?
Surely the economical and ecological cost of building and maintaining the ships to house all these would outwiegh the savings?

Why collocate the data centres - we have extensive electrical grids to pump power from point of generation to point of use - why not leave the data centres where they are. People have been looking at wave power for decades, but it doesnt seem to ever have come to much.

I also assume these are not intended for off the coast of Somalia.
