Google PowerMeter Tracks Your Electricity Usage

As you may have noticed by now, I'm a big fan of Google. Their constant  user-suggestion-oriented approach to product development and open source nature I think is a huge part of their success. A new product, called PowerMeter, lets consumers monitor the electricity usage of their home via a broadband connection. It comes with a variety of tools to help you track, modify and predict your electricity usage. This can be very useful for parents who are constantly having to turn off lights behind their kids or for the environmentally conscious person who wants to do their part to reduce their carbon footprint. Microsoft is coming out with a competing product called Hohm, so maybe I can bring you a comparison review in the future on these products.
