"The situation is interesting, the potential of failure to obtain agreement in Copenhagen does exist and this could cause a vacuum.

However, the reality of the situation is much more than is carbon going to continue as a currency as it is effectively becoming in the cap and trade systems that Kyoto has spawned.

If action is not taken the energy supply is going to become a real issue for companies and they may be able to address this with reduced carbon emmissions as a by product of their actions.

The <a href="http://dimension85.com/EN/eu-code-of-conduct.html" target="blank">EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency</a> is specifically aimed at the strategic management of energy consumption and if applied should have the benefit of reducing CO2e.

The interesting thing at present is that this is an EU driven initiative that is currently a voluntary scheme. But irrespective of Copenhagen and the machinations of world politics, the EU can enforce their initiative through a formal directive if energy security is, as they currently believe, is threatened.
