Maxie Reynolds, founder and CEO of Subsea Cloud, states, 'It's a nascent market, but it's currently the only one that can handle the current and projected loads in a sustainable way.' This highlights the unique market position of underwater data centers in addressing increasing computational demands while being potentially ecologically sustainable.
Mendel from NetworkOcean claims, 'Our modeling shows a 2-degree Fahrenheit change over an 8-square-foot area, or a 0.004-degree Fahrenheit change over the surface of the body of water.' This demonstrates their commitment to maintaining environmental standards amidst the rise of underwater technology.
Biologists who spoke to WIRED express concerns, indicating that any increase in water temperature is alarming as it could 'incubate harmful algae and attract invasive species,' emphasizing the ecological risks associated with underwater data centers.
Shaolei Ren compares NetworkOcean's planned underwater data center's operating capacity to 'operating about 300 bedroom space heaters.' This provides insight into the energy consumption and potential environmental impact technology projects could impose.
