  • Two Ways to Profit from the Smart Grid Project  [View article]
    Electrical engineers had two options in college; electronics or power. Like 99% of your peers, you likely chose the former hence a chronic shortage of the latter.

    Dumb grids are the products of old, relatively small and isolated power producers and distributors. Just like the 9-11 fire, police, FBI, etc. inability to communicate; share data bases. Each was technically behind its own needs further compounded by an inability to interface with beyond it sphere.

    Power distribution, not unlike the old AT&T phone system prior to the 1968 US Supreme Court Carter Phone case, was non-competitive, antiquated, and forgotten. While foreign designed and produced digital phone systems rapidly out performed and replaced AT&T's analog relics, power continued technical stagnation. If this scenario sounds familiar as one examines our highway and auto transportation systems, GM, Ford, and Chrysler debacles ring soundly in our ears. Is there a common thread here let alone domestic investment opportunities?
