‘Smart grid’ is a term with as much buzz as any I’ve heard lately. It’s mentioned in conversations about climate change, renewable energy and new types of energy storage. It seems that just saying “smart grid” several times in a conversation makes people think you’re smarter. But with all the buzz and money being spent to make our existing grid smarter, the least talked about but most important part of the smart grid is what’s often left out – you. The American consumer’s acceptance of this new, intelligent technology is of paramount importance.
