...many datacenter operators said they were satisfied that they had more than enough capacity to cope.

Did they ask the Operators, or did they ask the BOFHs' Bosses? I don't think I could imagine Simon saying "We have more than enough capacity" - not when the over flow could be used sold to the Helldesk to charge their phones/laptops, or - better - to run the espresso machine, during a power cut.

I could see the Boss wanting to sell it back, and The BOFH giving him an example of the poor re-usability of electricity, using a cattle prod as a demonstration aid.
