Green Tools and Gadgets - Google adds another one

clipped from blog.reegle.info According to Reuters Google is shortly to roll out free software which allows consumers to track their home electricity use and improve energy efficiency in a bid to help mitigate global warming. Dan Reicher, Director for Climate Change and Energy Initiatives Google, is currently working with a number of major utilities companies in the United States, Europe and Asia to make this software available as soon as possible to the public. As part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Google said in February it would use its software skills for the program that will show home energy consumption in real time on a user’s computer or a telephone. He also stated that this tool will be available soon and that it will be open source (and therefore free, but that’s nothing new for google tools)
