Energy isn’t going to get cheaper and neither is the environmental impact of consuming lots of it.

  Running a less efficient server or making a brand new server that consumes raw materials. Same can be said for a 10yr old Honda Civic versus a brand new Tesla. Either way is wasteful...just depends on your viewpoint.
