I'm surprised more isn't done with seaside DCs in California. The Pacific along 
the CA coast is 30-40F at depths shallow as 60 feet. A near limitless supply of 
cooling, at least until the poles melt. Why there aren't DC's looping sea water 
for cheap cooling (its good enough for nuke reactors) escapes me. If you 
combined the GreenRevolution approach with looping sea water to exchange the 
heat you would get pretty close to a PUE of 1. Especially if servers and their 
components were redesigned for submerged operation as the original article 
mentioned.
