Here in the Netherlands electricity is more expensive for private households than for business or corporate entities. Using an energy tax the Dutch government is trying to stimulate people into conserving energy and thus natural resources.
My sense is that in the States, all energy is subsidized. That being said, in the Northwest both gas and electricity have had recent increases.

I wonder how some of the larger, non-profit LInux distros, Debian in particular, fund their build servers? Is there an option to distribute builds, say to academic centers? I know that the ftp3.usa.openbsd.org site is under the wing of NCAR at the Univ of Colorado.
