Amazon founder and tech visionary Jeff Bezos recently predicted during Italian Tech Week 2025 that within the next 10 to 20 years, massive, solar-powered data centers will be built in space, powered by uninterrupted sunlight and natural cooling.

Bezos believes these orbital facilities could be more efficient and cost-effective than terrestrial data centers due to unlimited, weather-free solar energy and an end to limitations on power, cooling and water that exist on Earth.

Artificial intelligence chip producer NVIDIA seems to agree, according to its blog, citing 10-times lower energy costs and reduced energy consumption on Earth. The chip maker operates a startup called Starcloud. 10/16/2025
