A new device to monitor energy usage and CO2 emissions through a hand held powered orb that changes colored lights and includes a digital meter is being introduced. I think it's pretty cool but mainstream America would never embrace it until maybe the Greenland ice sheet is completely melted. Thoughts?

So since I already use a Kill-O-Watt, my answer to your questions is a qualified 'yes'.
