PowerMeter

Another cool new release by Google just came out- PowerMeter. PowerMeter is an online dashboard that is designed to download data from smart meters and display current electricity use and show how much power your refrigerator, big-screen television and other appliances are using at any point in time. The handy thing about PowerMeter is that it gives the user more control over their household electricity, and thus allows them better control over how much they're spending.
