Re: [PLUG] Why Virtualize?
|
Actually, and I admit this is somewhat off topic but there are reasons
to be
considerate of electric prices. As I understand it price caps on
electricity, long
in force will be expiring this year. I've heard predictions that our
electric
prices will be rising 10% - 30% per year for the next few years. I
don't believe
this is in direct connection with the cost of fuel, just inflationary
perhaps.
(Reeling it in to the topic) Our field is responsible for a considerable
amount of idle
consumption of electricity.
