Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can't help but think a couple decades from now it's going to start causing us problems

They were talking about this years ago and I haven't heard anything on it in a while. Is it still even a project they're working on? Also, what would be the environmental problems with this? I remember reading at one point about submarine power cables potentially causing issues with marine animals because of EMF, but I don't think that was any kind of conclusive study.
