In a letter to President Barack Obama, top-echelon companies involved in energy management technology urge the administration to help give Americans access to information about their energy consumption through the use of connected technology.
The letter—written by such influential companies as Google Inc., www.google.com, Mountain View, Calif., General Electric, www.ge.com, Fairfield, Conn., and Best Buy, www.bestbuy.com, Minneapolis, Minn., among dozens of others—states, “By giving people the ability to monitor and manage their energy consumption … via their computers, phones, or other devices, we can unleash the forces of innovation in homes and businesses. At the same time, we can harness the power of millions of people to reduce greenhouse gas emissions—and save consumers billions of dollars.”
