@heythereitsanis Let's go! 🚀

@PhilipJohnston @ycombinator @MIT 🚀🚀🚀

It’s not every day you get this kind of praise from one of the biggest disruptors. Thank you Philip, now back to building 🚀

Aight im calling @YCombinator S26 early… the most oversubscribed company in the batch will surely be Dimitris and Emile, two @MIT nuclear engineers building Atomarine 🔥

I’ve seen a bunch of ocean based data center concepts recently and this one makes the most sense to me. Not that it will be cheaper than in space in the long run (sorry lads!), but if we wanna build gigawatts terrestrially at any point, this seems like the best option 👌

@Roham_hos Pretty much anywhere, we’re unlocking the 70% of the planet.

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

Data centers cannot reach the scale they need on land. Grid interconnection queues are reaching a decade, resource competition burdens local communities, and project development is a very non-repeatable task.

We're building nuclear-powered, floating data centers: standalone power and compute, deployable anywhere, 4x faster than building on land.

Introducing @Atomarine_co (@ycombinator S26).

@aalshackarchi Something most people don’t know is that the regulatory pathways for this already exist

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@PeterDiamandis Abundant energy for all

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@GJarrosson @sama @ycombinator @OpenAI @Atomarine_co Heads down 🚀

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

Earlier this summer @sama came to speak at
@ycombinator.
He validated our entire business thesis: @OpenAI will need insane amounts of compute and at @Atomarine_co we're building the most scalable system for clean compute that can deploy anywhere on Earth 4x faster than onshore.

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@AIDataTracker1 Gas powered installations of similar size create emissions that warm up the oceans 25x more than our systems. By offsetting carbon emissions, our units effectively *cool* the oceans.

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@AlmostMedia @HarksenNiels @valaratomics Definitely on the short list - we'd love to talk to them!

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@K9Konichiwa That's the plan, semi-submersible or TLP-type design.

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

@HarksenNiels Most likely integral PWR. We’re currently evaluating vendors

[Dimitris K @_dkout]

This is why at @Atomarine_co we're moving data centers away from communities into stand alone projects at sea.

[City Journal @CityJournal]

Data centers haven’t been raising residential bills.

The sharpest increases are found in states that have pursued the country’s most aggressive climate policies, not those with the most data centers.

California, with some of the nation’s fastest-rising electricity rates, has seen relatively modest data-center growth. Virginia, where data centers consume more than a fifth of the state’s electricity, has experienced price increases near the national average.

Super excited to join @ycombinator to work on @Atomarine_co building floating nuclear powered data centers at sea!
