As a complete layman, I do wonder why you would bother building a datacenter at a place that everyone agrees is going to be basically underwater in the next 50-100 years.

Wouldn’t 45 to 95 years of use be plenty of time for ROI?

The coasts will definitely be wiped in 100 years but underwater is a bit of an overstatement

You're thinking of the maldives.

although, Microsoft did a whole experiment with underwater data centers, so maybe there's lessons from there that could be applied.
