Given the rapidly increasing power densities I expect it would be far more straightforward to bury them. I believe a single 42u rack of last gen nvidia hardware is already more energy intensive than the HVAC for a mcmansion.
However it occurs to me that the electrical grid becomes a high priority military target in this scenario. Maybe datacenters should go all in on building their own power plants.
