Microsoft Debuts Power Conservation Website
Posted on June 25, 2009
Microsoft Corp unveiled its Hohm website designed to help residential power consumers save money and reduce their environmental impact by conserving energy.
Microsoft has been selling technology to the energy industry for years and is now targeting the home power market as the weak economy forces consumers to find ways to save money and the government prepares to mandate the use of renewables and energy efficiency to curb carbon emissions.
“Conservation is the cheapest source of energy,” Troy Batterberry, product manager for Hohm, told Reuters. If consumers use less power, he said, utilities will not need to build as many new polluting power plants. Everyone saves money.
