- Find out what my power consumption is (funny thing, a week after I bought
  the CurrentCost gear but before I set it up, Reliant Energy finally
  started giving me daily-total graphs from the new "Smart Meter").

- Use the real-time readouts to figure how much power certain things use.

- Reduce my electric bill using data from the first two items above,
  especially later this summer when I can judge power use against different
  AC settings.
