Any thoughts?

For instance, it what way do the utilities share the data? Through the cloud, billing statements, online access? Who and where can it be accessed? Do personal information still be required to access the data?

Although “e-Know”, aims to provide a way for consumers to more easily find out about their energy usage and how much it saves them, I’m still not convince about its true purpose.

Maybe the passage of the eknow law is half-baked – FOR NOW. Let’s just wait and see.
