If it takes 3 to run a farm, imagine how many to run a large datacenter with thousands of servers and A/C units the size of Kansas.

Thanks for bringing some real world numbers to the post!

Maybe I’m just jaded by the whole thing at this point, but “being green”, unless you are Kermit, has become one giant marketing tactic and generally has little real effect or meaning any more..

And for the record, I priced out wind generators for here at the farm, 16 year payback and I would need 3 of them at current technology levels.. That makes it a 48 year payback.. No thanks..
