One correction: the stimulus funding came as grants utilities had to match: the actual investment is > 2X. http://smartgridresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sgi_reports/The_US_Smart_Meter_Uprising_August_2011_Zpryme_Research_Part3.pdf

A few of Robert William’s issues must be and are being worked on but in a larger context smart grid will be the operating system for our essential global low-carbon energy future.

Its very late but California Public Utility Commission members are now admitting that they know the meters are “making people sick” and that’s why they are authorizing an “opt out program”.

As a matter of fact they have ordered Pacific Gas and Electric to start removing smart meters from the homes of people who say they are sick from the meters. So its the beginning of the end for “wireless” smart meters here.

Their so-called safety never had been established. Where were the pilot studies usually required before exposing large populations? Greed has led to this technological embarrassment.

At least in California leaders are admitting mistakes. I guess people fleeing their homes to get as far away as they can from wireless smart meters had some effect on their thinking.

With a little luck and well placed R&D money, energy writers like you will be able to spend your time writing about this country’s success in finally conquering the problem of efficient energy storage instead of the pathetic little anti-consumer smart grid.
