I am no specialist. But couldnt have this not environmental side effects?
Yes. More specifically, the heat dumped by the servers would allow toxic algae to spread.
But what about shareholder value? Surely the spreading of toxic algae would be dwarfed in comparison.
And because the algae affects everyone, the city should pay for any clean up.

MONEY PWEEASE!
Toxic algae is an externality that companies have no moral obligation to be concerned about. Ezpz.
