As for HHH's (absolutely brilliant) idea of a detailed usage meter, I want one right now. I want to know if I'm getting raped by leaving my desktop on 24/7. Or how much it's costing me to to arbitrarily leave the kitchen light on just because I like it on.
A computer screen mounted in the hall by the thermostat with all the outlets listed, showing how much power is being sucked and a dollar figure beside it? Maybe a bit futuristic, but like I said, I want one.
