Guess it is time to start looking at home energy conservation.
New millenium economics. Clearly the wave of the future. Maybe
X-10 for home control, etc. There are a bunch of links to "Smart

free-market libertarianism - BruceC is right].

Among others, a company called Coactive Networks has been developing
web-accessible home energy gateways:
