As others have mentioned, Silicon Valley Power charges about half of PGE, and SF actually already has a power provider for businesses via Hetch Hetchy. It’s probably true that overall they might be a generation shortage but it doesn’t have to be true on a local scale. Plus PGE also needs to pay a lot of money for all the fires they started…which of course just goes back to the rate payers.
Running a Ubuntu Host with KVM, passing through an NVIDIA 970 to a Windows host. Yea...the GPU performance was fast, but everything else was so slow compared to running native. I think my biggest issue was with disk R/W, especially when memory pressure went up from the VM the system bogged down to a halt. After that, my biggest problems were with the fact that after the Windows host turned off, the GPU was stuck in the weird state where you can't reset it ( I know its a feature™ from Nvidia) and the Keyboard / Mouse would flake since I would attach the whole USB root to the VM as well.
In the end just decided to install back Windows and not have to deal with it.
