But life support isn't? It really doesn't matter that its on 24/7, the source of the energy is the problem not where its going.
In my country renewables are 50% of our electricity and growing.
The cost of installing a new windmill will be a lot cheaper than hiring a team of coders to optimise a single piece of code. You also have the benefit of solving the problem instead of the symptom. Again this is very dumb sorry.
