I'm psychic!

I have developed a tremendous psychic ability to read people's minds.  This has taken years of training, and arduous study at a Shaolin temple, but I'm finally ready to "out myself".

So here it is.

I'm going to read your mind.


Here's the question, and then I'm going to tell you what you were thinking:


How many kilowatt hours did you use last month?


And the answer?


I'm getting something... vaguely... one of your relatives is trying to communicate from beyond the veil...


Here's what you're thinking: "I don't know."


Aren't I amazing?  Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with it: I've asked this question a lot of times.  I have had one person that knew (and he's in a "carbon measurement" startup).  The rest answered, "I don't know."


It is very difficult to improve something that you measure, and things that you measure improve virtually automatically.  It is time to begin to measure how much energy, water and fuel that you use.  Because we can all improve our environmental impact.


Note that this doesn't address any particular ideology: you should be measuring whether you want to save the planet, or if you want to save money every month on your power bill.
