5 Savings: 26% decrease in energy bills or $1080 saved per year Savings: 40% decrease in energy bills or $240 saved per year “I wasn't really looking for energy information on my kitchen counter. I needed something that could push the information to me in different ways, like my mobile phone and my computer. Unless it's accessible and actionable, there's not much point to it. I use Google everyday to search so it was important to me to have my energy information at my fingers at any time.“ from Benson Hougland (Temecula, CA) “I like to have some control in my life. To me, getting an energy bill once a month, you can't learn anything from it. I'm not someone who's going to live in a cold house in the winter, but if there are things that I can do to be more aware, more comfortable, and save, then I'll do it." From: Ed Kohler (Minneapolis, MN)

This should help reduce carbon footprints as well as save money for consumers.

9  Google  Google PowerMeter is a free energy monitoring tool that helps users save energy and money. Its goal is to give users access to their home energy usage through their PC or mobile phone via smart metering by logging in to their iGoogle account.
