At the same time, if you're drawing more power, while doing a lot more work per footprint, things should work out being better off overall. IBM does offer a sustainability calculator that I've found to be pretty useful in the past. I would of course expect that the z17's will be added to it soon too; https://www.ibm.com/resources/systems/zsystems-linuxone-tco-co2e-calculator/
