I have to wonder how they're going to market these things to people without breaking any consumer laws. It seems like you'd almost have to trick people into using them for any extended period of time (like after they get their first electric bill), which will make them a prime target for lawsuits, Attorneys General of every state, the FTC, Congress, etc.
