It is far easier to build them at remote places and bunkers (or both). Even at the middle of the ocean will make more sense and provide better cooling (See Microsoft attempt at that).




Not exactly at the middle but close to shore is pretty good too, a lot of solar and wind around to feed the compute.

One of these projects is bonkers IMO: china-has-an-underwater-data-center-the-us-will-build-them-in-space

it is not far easier to distribute content from a bunker than from the space.

Did a not accidentally sneak in there? Because serving data from bunkers is done quite a bit right now.
