Without the numbers and analysis you can’t reach to a perfect conclusion.

The PowerMeter provides the analysis with easy access to energy consumption.
Google PowerMeter, now in prototype, will receive information from utility smart meters and energy management devices and provide anyone who signs up access to her home electricity consumption right on her iGoogle homepage.
