At our recentGreen:Net conference, we sat down with Google’s Tom Sly, who’s been working on the search engine giant’s energy information tool, PowerMeter. Google’s trying to make the PowerMeter available as fast as possible and best-case scenario is that it will be ready before the end of this year, Sly told us. Sly also said that Google is working with utilities as well as device manufacturers to produce something that can mimic a smart meter to work with PowerMeter and give the consumer enough data to help them modify their behavior.
