Smart Grid Requires Smart Utilities

A bit shallow since the electric industry is hugely pursuing Smart Grid. See Xcel in with its Smart Grid City in Boulder, CO, then check FPL doing the same in Miami, and then I note similar projects under way in the Mid-Atlantic by PHI and DOM. Likewise huge projects underway by SO and SoCal Edison. What is true is that some States are more willing to allow their utilities to upgrade the grid than others and may see the benefits differently depending on their circumstances.
