Harnessing ocean heat to power floating data centers, Drogue advances toward its first prototype

Heat flowing from the ocean floor is about to power floating data centers, and Drogue is building the first prototype to prove it. Within two years, a vessel bobbing on the waves should be crunching bits, cooled by the very water that surrounds it. That kind of practical innovation feels refreshingly grounded.
