Amy - Re: "they said 100 server farms have asked PG&E for an amount of power that is equivalent to the power consumed by 1.2 million families. "

Most families have widely varying electrical usage - with VERY LOW consumption during 8 to 12 hour periods.

Server farms NECESSARILY must run 24 hours/day - 7 days a week.

Did the WSJ discuss the excessive cooling requirements for supermarkets' milk, dairy, beer and frozen foods sections as well?

My guess is that there are more than 100 Supermarkets in California.

Re: "the USA seems more likely to start a war to combat energy inflation"

Start a war ?

Invade an Oil Producing country?

Get serious.
