RE: Smart Grid
The only "smart" thing about it is the crafty utility companies who have figured a way to cut their costs while raising consumer prices. Who thinks they will save money by not using as much electricity during the day? Are you going to stop running the A/C during daylight hours? -- yeah, I thought not. And how about that fridge? Unplug it at sunup? Hah!
And how 'bout those hackers who will be attacking our electrical infrastructure just as soon as it becomes dependent upon the Internet. Oh yeah... I know, they're passing laws to make sure the smart grid is secure. Lemme know how that works out for ya!
