Microsoft Hohm Beta Public

Microsoft is currently sending out emails to users who registered for announcements about the Microsoft Hohm service which was in private beta until today. It is now possible for everyone to signup for the service and make use of it. Microsoft Hohm has been designed to help people save energy and money by better understanding their energy usage and receiving recommendations conserve energy and start saving.
The service is aimed at users from the United States as Microsoft asks for a US zip code to provide the user with data from that area in the United States. There are for example information about the average annual energy costs in the area or the energy costs breakdown.
 
Yeah, never heard of Hohm before this and after reading up about it - I'm not really that interested.

Really... Microsoft?
This will be just like those other online tools that try to calculate how many watts you need for your PSU or how many FPS a certain computer will get you. There's to many variables.. especially for something like this.

Seems to be a way for Microsoft to appeal to be more "eco-friendly."
