Seems there is no commentary section for this article regarding Microsoft's plan for housing data centers under the ocean:

Instead of submerging the data center in a capsule, why don't they just pipe sea water to an on shore installation? That's what is done with power plants. The pipes could also be used for general air conditioning. Just install separate sea water mains like those for drinking water and use a meter to charge for use.
In the late 20s, many large cities had a central hydraulic system that delivered high pressure water to industrial facilities and buildings. Los Angeles had such a system which powered elevators in the downtown area.
