Energy cost will massively grow within this and next decade
because of<br>
decreasing oil and gas supply and rapidly growing
electricity demand. <br>
For the time from 2008 until 2030 the electricity
comsumption growth <br>
of all our ICT infrastructures has been predicted by a
factor of 30<br>
--- if current trends continue. Also the price per kWh will
probably grow <br>
by another factor, so that the electricity cost to run our
ICT infrastructures <br>
may grow by a factor of 100 or even more during this period
of time.</span></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><font color="#000000"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">We need your ideas on how to
cope with this challenge by current trends.</span></font></p>
