trade-offer perhaps some of the users in this thread would be interested in my startup that will build submersible data centers deep under the sea

the ocean has effectively infinite heat capacity and the immense hydrostatic pressures greatly increase data compression ratios

You jest but seawater for cooling will probably end up one of the better ways to go about it. On a coast somewhere

there are schemes for using an interchange between seawater and a closed-loop of something more manageable but the seawater side still has to deal with all that so it's only a little easier
