like it s done a pretty good job. thanks, paul. nicejob, paul, thank you. now, we are a tech show and we can t avoid the fact that tech is a heavy user of electricity. tech is contributing to global emissions. for example, there are data centres all over the world filled with power hungry computers but also filled with power hungry cooling systems. some data centres are being moved north so they can use the naturally colder air but there are other options as well. microsoft has been running an experimentjust off the coast of 0rkney and they put a data centre underwater. what could possibly go wrong? let s find out. lucas joppa is chief environmental officer at microsoft. welcome. so the idea with this is you are using colder seawater to cool the computers? yes, exactly. you asked what could go wrong. it turns out when you put data centres underwater, a lot fewer things can go wrong. that might seem a bit counter intuitive but we can completely seal that environment.
