Not to worry. The general consensus is that the courts will not hold google responsible for piracy...

good point. data centers do not have their own military contingent like navy aircraft carriers. Wonder what that does to the cost equation. It seems to be somewhat fixed so if we make this big enough...

One could also try different technologies which make it harder to weaponize the nuclear fuel like pebble bed reactors but then thats never been deployed on a ship.

I imagine that Google has a clean tech agenda here as well as a 'how do I cool & power a data center' agenda.
