Does anyone else look at this and immediately want to connect the dots? I mean, if you could zip between these systems on a bullet train or mag-lev, would you ever fly domestically again?

Power to the people
Google is starting a partnership with utility companies to help their customers track their electricity usage via an iGoogle gadget. Of course, this will require having a smart meter hooked up at home.
You can’t manage what you can’t measure. Google claims that access to this information results in energy savings of 5-15%. This reminds me of how instant MPG displays help drivers lighten their lead feet.
I’ll be signing up just as soon as they let me…
