> Later versions of Fedora should allow easy monitoring of resource usage.

Yup, we're doing that with DeviceKit-power:

The maximum logging duration is one week. You'll also need a power monitor like
a Watts Up Pro (with USB connection) if you want to be able to plot this
accurately. ACPI does not give us accurate rate data when charging or
discharging and gives us no data when fully charged.

> How much paper did I use last month?

??

> Is it less since I changed the printer's default to 4-up?

Then you need to connect your printer to a WUP device, and do a study. This is
quite a niche use case.

> How much electricity is being used when the computer is idle?

You can see that with gnome-power-manager already.

> Maybe integrate into smolt. Compete to use the least energy.

No, I don't think this is a good idea.
