Story: Sun to demo 'green' thin clients to the G8

What they don't say is that Thin client technology shifts the problem to the Datacenter where organisations need to house all the servers that provide the backend processing to the Thin client.
In a large organisation this can cause a massive increased demand for datacenter space with its associated power and cooling demands which significantly offset the savings at the front end.
If you can't adjust your office air-conditioning down to reflect the reduced heat generation in the office then you get a very poor picture I suspect.
As with all things, this is a complex puzzle which needs careful consideration.
