Building nuclear data centers at sea

@US_1st_Badass Space, or the deep sea 🌊 (or both)!

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

No one wants data centers near them, we can put them in the 70% of the planet where humans aren't

At @Atomarine_co we are building exactly this: standalone power generation for datacenters placed far from communities. The result is cheaper energy, less resource competition on shore and less impact on communities.

[Innovation Council @innovationcncl]

President Trump is right about data centers: "If you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. The data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid."

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@davidu We need a new paradigm to aggressively build data centers

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

With centralized manufacturing and deployment at sea, @Atomarine_co can build the largest deployments far away from on-shore scarce resources.

It's time to build mega data centers. In counties where they're already operational, the picture is uniformly better since 2024:

- More housing
- Higher home values
- Less unemployment
- More job growth

Nuclear energy is the future.

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@Brenten55 By offsetting emissions, our units are effectively *cooling down* the oceans.

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

Meeting the demand for compute is becoming impossible.

At Atomarine we are building the next generation of AI infrastructure: the most scalable, cheapest and most climate friendly form of standalone compute on Earth.

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

This is why @Atomarine_co is building standalone offshore data centers powered by nuclear.

✔️Data centers do not take water needed by local communities - they use abundant seawater,
✔️They do not take power needed by the Texas power grid - they generate it on site,
✔️They lower the cost of electricity on shore
✔️They must not disrupt neighborhoods or rural communities - they sit far away from neighborhoods and have zero emissions.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

My directive has halted up to 1,800 data center projects.

I established guidelines & guardrails to protect Texas communities:

✔️Data centers must not take water needed by local communities,
✔️They must not take power needed by the Texas power grid,
✔️They must lower the cost of electricity,
✔️They must not disrupt neighborhoods or rural communities.

These guidelines are now the universally applied standard in Texas.

@budwindruid @ycombinator We get around the resource competition issue on land. It's easier and faster to deploy anywhere.

@sebuzdugan We’ll be using undersea fiber connection

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@Michaelz1914 Pretty small difference wrt to cooling, but it becomes much more complicated to engineer and hard to access for maintenance.

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@PhilipJohnston Thanks, super excited to get going!

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@njack2af The nuclear generation happens off grid and on site.

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@borisjabes Exactly!

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@bosmeny It’s gonna work

[Dimitris K @DimitrisKoute]

@samansayahpour @axelrodlabs Congrats on the launch! Great stuff!
