This is why it will never be anything but Secaucus and Carteret no 
matter what the cost for power and cooling. The HFT guys make 10X+, in 
seconds, the cost of a high PUE by having the lowest latency to the 
exchanges. When they are paying NRE to have FPGAs with trading rules 
built into 10GbE switches sitting at the network demarcation boundary 
things like cheap power and cooling mean little.
