Wait until the Nest starts scolding people for having the
temperature too high or low.

Has your refrigerator sent an E-mail to say milk is low? Fresh eggs
are on sale.

Stuart Varney and Charles are funny about this acquisition of Nest.

What - buy MORE fuel. In the winter turn the
temperature up and in the summer turn it down?
Run the fan more? change the oil and filters
every 3000 seconds? Time to buy more Twinkie s?

Now, that's a thought. Nothing like having
a smart thermostat, that scolds you and then
fines you for carbon offset fees if you
have it too warm in the winter. Anyone old
enough to remember Pres. Carter wearing
sweaters in the white house, with the fire
place going?

Sure. If the Inbox is not full from other spammers. Depends on the
available memory in the device, I guess.

Limiting inputs will be what the regulators do. There is a good
possibility of water rationing for crops in my area in the future.
Pesticide and fertilizer application rates come to mind also. Rules for
fertilizer application are already in place regarding the timing of the
application in the fall.
Electrically powered irrigation wells typically have controllers that
allow the power companies to switch them off during peak loads. A
typical deal is the farmer elects to be off for possibly two days out of
the week. He knows ahead of time which days it could be. The power
company shuts off a number of wells depending on their need to shed
their load.
There aren't any laws against texting and farming that I've heard of
yet.

I thought Apple would buy Nest. Elegantly designed consumer products
with very high margins fit into Apple's ecosystem.

I wish that Nest would come out with connected, automatic, HVAC vents
that talked to multiple thermostats. Probably the best way to greatly
reduce wasted power would be to not heat or cool unused areas of a house.

Now! Watch movies on your thermostat. Stock
market quotes, and the latest on carbon
emissions, and why global warming means we
have to turn our thermostats to 64F.

Unless the system is designed to accomodate it, there is only so much you
can do later. For example, with central air, you can't just choke off
a 4 Ton AC and try to use it to cool just a couple rooms instead of the
whole house. A first step in that direction would be to at least have
some zoning, so that upstairs and downstairs are independent. There
are a lot of houses out there where to get it 76 upstairs, it's 72
downstairs, wasting energy.
