How so? Large diesel generators are respectably efficient at perhaps 40%. Not as efficient as a CCGT plant at 60% but also not in a different order of magnitude

- avianlyric 4y agoBecause a 20% drop in efficiency is substantial, and because the alternative to diesel generators isn’t just CCGT. You could also use solar, wind, nuclear, tidal etc etc Carbon output of a diesel generator is horrific compared to just about any form of large scale energy production.

- adrianN 4y agoIf you're allowed to use a second computer, you need at least 4 to match the performance you previously had on the single machine. http://www.frankmcsherry.org/assets/COST.pdf http://www.frankmcsherry.org/assets/COST.pdf
