Fascist

It often seems to me that the Left has taken the word "fascist" and made of it a club with which to beat their enemies over the head.

Smart meters

If we are to all have smart electricity meters in our homes, with the supplier varying the price of their electricity in real time, then they need to figure out some way of letting us know what the current price is without us having to walk into the garage to look at the meter in order to find out.

A nice Yahoo! widget on the TV would be the preferred solution for 90% of homes I don't doubt. Followed by mobile phone apps (a lot of effort for several relatively small markets) and a plain old PC website for Neanderthals like me.
