RE: Consumers wary of utility electricity management plans
Given the continuing monotonous litany of security breaches at banks, stores, government agencies, and every other kind of large institution that collects and stores personal information from us consumers, why in the world should I trust that systems to manage my personal electrical usage would not be vulnerable to hacking? Full disclosure of security breaches has pulled the curtain back to show us just how insecure every kind of information store is, and I for one am thankful to know that the emperor has no clothes.
The utilities can find some other way to manage power usage; remotely operating my house is not going to be one of them anytime soon, as far as I'm concerned.
