Proposed underwater AI data centers could threaten endangered whales off Maine and Alaska
AIAI firm DeepGreen Holdings has proposed a $100 million underwater data center covering 1,650 acres off Western Passage, Maine, and Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska, with 66 compute pods and 300 tidal turbines. Both sites are home to endangered whale populations, including North Atlantic right whales and Cook Inlet beluga whales, and researchers warn that construction noise and heat could harm them.
