Rep Power: 17  |  Very true with cars they 'cost' allot to produce although newer cars do help to improve general air quality in busy areas. Thin clients seem to be a good move for saving power and lower production costs as well. |

Rep Power: 8 | We're going thin client in a few suites, and the servers are running the new greener Intel chips (forgotten model number), that's about as good as we'll get for a while! As for eco cars, aren't the Prius batteries made in a factory in an area with the highest pollution in the world and transported long distances? - not very eco after all!! |

I mean, those solar cells sound great -but they use minerals that are in fairly short supply, so: would Coop have been better to send them out to Africa where they: a, would benefit from it and can't afford cleaner energy sources and b, would actually be in use all year round!
