Brains working towards machine consciousness

 On the 30th November, an email was forwarded from our 'Clean and Green' team, which pointed to a rather shocking expenditure of £3,500 on electricity on Christmas Day last year.  I assume almost nobody was working on campus, that there weren't any major displays of Christmas lights, and that most lights were not left on.  

It occurred to me to think about how much power our "Thames Blue" IBM blade center (sic) consumes, and how much of that figure might relate to that, thanks to Karsten who mentioned the subject.
