Quite an interesting idea, uses the carbon intensity forecast so you know when best to plugin when energy is most green.

    Great idea for everywhere other than the Midlands or Scotland. 
    Scotland is always almost 0 carbon, Midlands is always terrible.
    Right now they are running 8% coal in West Midlands and 25% coal in East Midlands

    For me on a day of rubbish generation, the next best thing would be running my dishwasher on low carbon sources so I will be using it where possible.
