Power Hog: The Energy Meter's Running, Kids

Power-Hog will not end global warming, but it does make an attempt at familiarizing kids with the cost of running energy using devices, like video games and computers. It takes loose change (or allowance) and a red light blinks when time is running out. Plenty of people, presumably parents, think Power-Hog is a great idea for metering energy use. Still, it seems more like a novel parenting tool than a product that will genuinely benefit the green movement.
