In Cambridge brain touts wind-n-server combo farms
...will be kept safely and securely !! However, considering this government's track-record, this assumption is, itself, not safe !!
I would much rather have my LAN disconnected from the outside world every night after work than to allow "free" access to my lovely data !!
Furthermore, most windfarms will be out at sea. The costs of setting up storm-proof data centres at sea will be definitely *NOT* green !! The alternative is periodic blackouts when the data centres are shorted out by the latest storm !! Also, the salt corrosion of the computing hardware will be far higher than normal !!
These professors should leave their ivory towers once in a while !!
