Not this one in particular, but similar. I haven’t found one with CO2 data, but this one has most of the other things and it’s the style that just plugs into an outlet and allows you to plug “something” into it.

The weirdly named P3 International P4460 Kill-A-Watt electricity usage monitor is interesting. There are a bunch of devices very similar around, with these LCD displays of numbers. Some folks have gone to the “ambient color blasting” device, like Wattson, which monitors the entire home, or everything from the power coming into a place from the power station. If you’re into over-engineering, this guy has instructions on carefully building your own DIY home electricity usage monitoring thing, very carefully, when you have a few free weekends.

Do any US companies make these? If not, do you have links for them? I’d love it if more of our mobile devices would tell us how much energy we are actually consuming each day. bzzzzzzrp
