Monitor your power usage with this power strip

Filed in archive Wired Home General by Emily Price on May 27, 2008

Ever wonder how much power you're using with your power strip? This Power Cost Controller power strip keeps you informed about your power usage, which keeping your devices up and running. The strip has an display screen that tracks your kilowatt-hour power usage and will let you know how much power has gone through the strip in the past hour, week, month, and even year.

This is an interesting idea. Without using the strip in your entire home however I'm not sure how you'll really be able to keep good track of your overall power usage and be able to save on bills...which I think is sort of the point.

Get one now for $99 here.

Well if anyone is Truly interested in Saving Energy you will like this site. It says you can save upwards of 25% on your electric bill. At your home or business. Their Lighting manager for businesses even guarantee 20% or refund. If your company can save some money then they may lay off less people. I hope, I’m an optimist.
