Show Notes

Louis Wolfson, a Massachusetts real estate developer, proposes the worlds first underwater AI data center in Maines Western Passage. The project, spanning 27 acres, would use tidal turbines for power and ocean water for cooling. However, local communities, including the Passamaquoddy tribe, express concerns about environmental impact. Experts highlight challenges like tidal power fluctuations, repair difficulties, and high costs. The project is currently under review by federal regulators, with public input expected.
