Maybe some decades from now all power per flop wasting supercomputers
will be located in India.
In the long run, they're the only ones on the planet who can afford
the energy real cheap,
and supercomputers usually burn a lot more power per gflop than they
should, power6 up to factor 10.
So even existing government rules (within EU that is) already would
forbid building supercomputers
as they waste too much power per double precision gflop as compared
to the objective norm.

Eight
of the top 500 supercomputers are of India with Tata Group's Eka,
