Interesting to note that this effort continues along the same road, as do many other Government programs, that our Citizens are not up to the task of understanding routine issues and "Need Help" from a Government program.
In the event you haven't noticed utility companies are issuing scores of programs, brochures, and other media to address this very same issue. In addition, I, along with the vast majority of energy consumers, am acutely aware of energy usage in the form of monies paid.
I use common sense to set my energy usage and adjust to seasonal changes to enhance less usage. About the only folks who don't give energy consumption much thought are those who are subsidized by Government programs. I view, with great suspicion, this program, along with other like related programs that presume we are not intelligent enough to make independent decisions and need the help of a Government overseer to direct our actions. Again, "To What End? Is this the first stage of a new level of Government Regulation & Control? Are you acting "In the Best Interests" of our Citizens, or are you helping to create another Government Agency that is in line with a Progressive Agenda.
To the Smart Grid approach you propose, I say NO!!! We are more intelligent that you assume.
