"The High (?) Road to a True Smart Grid" The Commonwealth Club, San Francisco, December 3, 2013 Featuring the landmark report "Getting Smarter About the Smart Grid" by Tim Schoechle, PhD published by the National Institute for Science, Law and Public Policy. The program will cut through misunderstandings about the value of the ‘smart meters’ being rolled out across the country, and the misguided direction of electricity and energy policy in the U.S. The panelists will outline a blueprint for a safer and smarter approach to both electricity generation and distribution in the United States—one that has all of our best interests, and the interests of planet Earth, at heart. This interdisciplinary critique of our present electricity dilemma will clarify technical misunderstandings about ‘smart’ meters; the entrenched economic models preventing utilities from fully embracing renewable energy; and how the growing transpartisan ‘smart’ meter rebellion heralds an epochal transformation in the economy of energy. The panelists will lay out the next steps the U.S. must take to achieve clean energy abundance—for the sake of our pocketbooks, sustainable energy independence, global economic competitiveness, preservation of natural resources, enhanced national security and to forestall the looming threat to life on Earth from man-made global warming. bit.ly/17pmCzZ
