Slippery slope. That would make it an even worse offense to buy a new computer or even technological gadget. I'd wager a guess that every developer who's doing scripting development doesn't really need a multi-core machine at home (not counting the final server). So the reasons for not just using an old AMD 1.4 Ghz Athlon computer from 10 years ago are quite fishy.
Transport costs for an Octane aren't that high, and considering the time you're running it and the increased power hunger of contemporary machines means that your average yearly carbon footprint is the equivalent of one tween doing a single WoW raid (or heck, waiting for said event).
