Grab-bag of additional feature suggestions

Additional Features I'd like to see:
- I'd like to be able to compare my energy use with people in my community.
- I'd like to set goals or create an energy budget.
- I'd like to see if the Hohm community's energy use goes down over time - does more information mean better decisions?
- I'd like Hohm to take a few pages out of the book "Nudge" (I think you already are) to help people change their energy behavior.
- I'd like to see recommendations for local contractors and stores which provide energy efficiency services. Mint does this for financial services, it seems like Hohm could do it for efficiency services.
- I'd like to see Hohm partner with nonprofit, education and government organizations to increase its visibility and to draw from a significant intellectual base which is already tackling energy efficiency issues.
- I know Hohm is focused on home energy efficiency, but down the road, after the bugs are worked out and the home side of life is running, I'd like to see Hohm become a tool to account for all energy use - that means transportation, consumption and waste disposal as well. It doesn't seem like that far a stretch.
- On the same vein, not everyone is focused just on the $ bottom line (which seems to be Hohm's main focus). Some of us would like to see our carbon impact as well. It doesn't seem like it would be too much of a stretch to add carbon accounting.

Thanks, I hope the beta moves forward quickly (it seems like Microsoft isn't investing that heavily into this endeavor) and Hohm becomes a useful tool.
