  11. #Undersea cable investments double to $13 billion in 2yr — ever-growing danger of cable cuts looms
    Amount is double 2022-2024 spend, and much as you'd expect, it's driven primarily by #bigtech (Meta Amazon Microsoft Google). The report claims that existing cables already cover roughly 1M mi, and that number is getting larger every year.

  12. #China Dives in on the World’s First Wind-Powered #Undersea #DataCenter
    Traditional #datacenters devote up to 50% of their energy consumption to air conditioning. #Underwater design reduces cooling energy demand to less than 10%. More than 95% of facility's #electricity comes from #offshorewind turbines in East China Sea. The project reduces land usage by more than 90% and eliminates the need for fresh water.
