It's because of the antiquated grid, and of course you

anti-technology righties don't want to even think about fixing it

Smart grid controls distribution. We have plenty of distribution, we lack generation.



Smart grid technology works primarily by turning off demand, preventing you from washing clothes or heating water during peak power demands. Smart grid technology doesn't fix the lack of generation, it prevents consumers from overwhelming it.



So, with smart grid, when you plug your electric car in it either won't charge, or your washer/dryer will shut down.



Look it up.



BULL****!!!!!

The electric company keeps wanting to control my A/C, Fridge and washer

and dryer. I keep telling them no because I want to my house cold, my

beer cold and my clothes clean.

C'mon, you know they aren't going to want to control the power hungry appliances.

iloogy thinks they are going to fix the world's problem by turning off his electric can opener.
