BuckenBerry@lemmy.world 6 days agoThis is a bit irrelevant but we can’t use sea water for cooling instead. And if we’re already heating sea water can’t we just heat it up more in the end and create a combined desalination server farm.
Are they any major issues I’m missing

I think there biggest problem with sea water is dirt, not just the salt. So it’s easier to waste drinking water on cooling the chips. The idea of a combination server farm and desalination plant is probably possible. Desalination is expensive though. I remember reading about Singapore’s efforts. So this would have to be a big investment with profits pushed far back into a sustainable future. So if you’re on the board and have this fiduciary responsibility to increase shareholder value you’ll probably throw your hands up and give up at that point. Without governments making wasting drinking water on server cooling expensive, this plan will never even make it to the c-suite.
