Today's consumers want tools to help them keep track of the energy they use. Products that measure the amount of energy you use, and have the ability to automatically adjust your appliances for maximum conservation, may soon be available for home use. "Consumers lower their energy bills and can get detailed reports on their usage trends, such as which devices in the home consume the most power. There are also significant benefits for the utility and the transmission grid. By dialing down consumption at peak times, utilities can avoid turning on costly--and typically very polluted--auxiliary power plants."
