I really don't like how people most commonly try to justify the monetary cost of their power consumption.
In my opinion the way more important metrics should be how the energy you are consuming is generated and how much carbon emissions are caused by it.
Who cares that your 2000W@230V idle are "free", if that means you are burning crude oil in your backyard to generate it..

I'm not saying that cost of power is entirely irrelevant.
I'm saying that "My setup consumes a lot of power, but that's fine because it doesn't cost me much" is kind of backwards. While monetary cost certainly is one of the arguments for energy efficiency, responsibly using resources and avoiding wasting energy are way more compelling ones imo. That especially applies if your energy isn't produced via renewable means.
Even if power was entirely free of monetary cost, you shouldn't waste it, don't you agree?
