This is quite possible the best thing I've ever found - you have to take a look at it.

The wattson is a neat looking device that you can install at home 'in seconds' that measures how much electricity your house is using. As the website says, "electricity changes from being an invisible, intangible idea, into a visible, tangible entity with real and quantifiable consequences for using it." Of course, it helps that the device looks like its been designed by Apple - it's sleek, white and very futuristic. It'll definitely compliment all those clean lines we've been designing into our homes over the last couple of years.
