Today was met with Tendril Networks announcing a new round of financing. They aim to give me, the consumer, visibility into, and control of, both AC and DC consuming devices in my home. The world going this long without a closed end-user feedback loop for power/utility consumption is beyond me. My local municipality, Boulder, has teamed up with Xcel Energy to put the entire city on a "smart grid." All this news provided an opportunity to catch up with a good friend at GridPoint who's on course to help me out as an energy consumer as well.
Power; such an un-tamed industry when it comes to consumer interfaces and control.
Looking at recent math around electric cars and power grid demands has me not-so-excited about them as an alternative anymore.
