I've become interested in just how much power our house uses recently, especially with the amount of carbon is produced. When you talk to most people about limiting power usage (ie turning off standby devices), you get a look like you've just suggested killing their entire family, and then the usual answer of "it only costs me £3.50 to leave everything on standby, so it doesn't matter". I'd love to see limits on how much power people can actually use. Very good idea!
