Ocean server farm

I wonder if I could build a self-sustaining server farm in, on, or near the ocean. Let power be provided by wind or wave, and cooling provided by deep water. Hawaii and Guam are good deep water locations. The problem is wind power like Cape Wind wants shallow water.

Cape Wind has given a bad name to off shore wind for exactly the reason you stated, it wants the shallow water and so do endangered species including birds, fish and sea mammals. Destroying wildlife habitat should simply not be allowed. An industrial wind farm, especially one touted as the largest off shore wind farm in the world, nearly twice the size of any other (24 square miles of the Nantucket Sound comprised of 130 417' turbines is enormous and will have an enormous impact on the birds that depend on the Atlantic flyway for migration and the ecology of the area for their survival) will harm and not help the environment.

Deep water wind has promise and for a developer like wind, who claims to be state of the art, they should be working on that not an outdated and damaging project like Cape Wind in the Nantucket Sound.
