A new online magazine called Intelligient Utility with more insights is at: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/energycentral/iu_20090304/index.php?startid=60#/1/OnePage
The words in the article regarding
Google's in-roads to smart grid initiatives, "utility regulations are traditionally structured around making investments to build new power plants and selling more electricity, not energy efficiency," said Roy Ellis. the statement clearly points out an all to often conflict in western society today, to the detriment of earthlings, perhaps catastrophic in the not so distant time.
What are win-win solutions whereby earthlings and corporations account for the abundance each seek and rely on without placing each at risk?
One's own preference has been to be in a position removed by choice from the grid, however, that may not be in keeping with smart-building common good, common ground, common sense in the common market place.
