Indeed, but last year out campus used 29,645,955 kw-hrs of electricity. And of course when considering cost one must pay attention to the fact that the cost varies by the time of day/year; and this 24/7 use will often be during the cheaper night/weekend hours... During winter the use could save on the cost of heating (which for our campus is natural gas), but they'd need to be cooled... _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
