Maybe some decades from now all power per flop wasting supercomputers

In the long run, they're the only ones on the planet who can afford the

and supercomputers usually burn a lot more power per gflop than they
should, power6 up to factor 10.
Iceland have energy literally pumping out of the ground - if they can
sort out their connectivity to the US and Europe I think they'll quickly
become the data centre to the world. Okay, they have some minor issues
with seismic activity to deal with but you can't win em all.
