Time Is Energy

"Seeing" the energy wasted

I was talking to a friend about energy efficiency the other day and this friend commented on how much easier it would be if people could see how much money/energy they were wasting on items around the house they were not using. (Lights being one obvious example.)

While surfing the web today I thought I'd check to see what products could help one "see" the energy they were using. I did not find exactly what I was looking for, although this gizmo can do the trick on an outlet by outlet basis.

I was reminded of a talk I went to about a year ago, where the speaker speculated on how much more "responsible" Americans would be if they could see CO2 emissions.
