  • Smart Grid: Powering Us Out of Recession [View article]
    This is another uneducated article hyping the Smart Grid, for whatever reason.

    The SmartGrid is just smartmeters so far. Without technology like SmartHome or rate incentives, most consumers will just ignore the info that smartmeters provide.
    Many cars have electronic dashboards that provide a readout of instantaneous MPG. Do drivers use them to save money?

    Let's not confuse energy storage and alternate energy technologies with the Smart Grid. The Smart Grid will do nothing to create base load or peaking capacity, nor will it provide any load leveling.

    So far, this is the only article to make the sole accurate claim for the Smart Grid. It will do away with meter readers. I seriously doubt this will pull our economy out of its present predicament.

    Regarding outages due to equipment tripping off line and the SmartGrid... LOL
