With all the bloat-tastic web sites there are these days... What if a browser or plug-in displayed a little animated "Electric Meter" icon, which showed how power-sucking the site you were currently viewing was? With a few customization options (title, colors) users could re-label it as "battery sentry", "bill miser", "earth saver", or whatever floated their boat.

Seems like something that could really appeal to Joe Average User.
