According
to NComputing, the
access devices eliminate the need for air conditioning when there is a room
full of the devices, since they create little heat, produce significantly less e-waste at the end of their extra long lifetimes, and according
to their calculations, the company's current user base is right now saving 144 million kWh of
electricity annually, 17,700 metric tons of coal, 112,300 metric tons of CO2, and about 8,100 metric tons of e-waste.
This would ensure a «level playing field» for competition in the
electricity and heat industries by guaranteeing non-discriminatory
access to the high - and low - voltage grids, by setting transparent tariffs based on
full costs and providing clear licensing rules for new players in the markets.
