Why to put it underwater?
The data servers use a large amount of energy to operate, almost the total energy usage of data servers in US is nearly equal to 34 coal powered power plants, which is a massive amount of energy. Lot of energy goes to power the server and nearly half of the energy goes to keep them cool. By putting them under water the energy required to keep them cool will be saved which is a huge amount of energy. The other reason is that nearly 50% of the US population lives on the coast, so they will get easy access to internet.
