Smart Grid Will Enable Government To Control Your Electricity


Ever since the concept of electrifying the Nation was realized Thomas Edison, Americans have been allowed to plug anything they want into their electric power outlets

The next development in Green energy savings won’t require Legislation. The U.S Department of Energy recently decided they can regulate the electricity powering your appliances. Energy Secretary Steven Chu recently issued five new energy efficiency standards for large appliances, and is reworking expanding the departments reach into ten new categories. Assistant Energy Secretary Cathy Zoi recently said “we have a mandate. Where we can actually just issue regulations and do market transformation.”

Right now engineers are busy working on “Smart Grid” technology. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act set aside $11 billion dollars to begin construction of that grid.

Smart Grid sounds harmless enough, but it will intrude directly into our lives. Future appliances will come with smart microchips installed; when you plug them in, they will recognizae the smart grid, and someome else will decide if your appliance will run or not.
 
If a bureaucrat in Washington decides that it’s not hot enough for you to put on the air conditioner, your air conditioner will not work. If there is a strain on the grid in a particular neiborhood they can cut back one appliance at a time. They will have the ability to turn off radios, televisions and computers. In the era of electronic information, restricting the freedom of the press is as easy as turning off the light.

The idea is to conserve power, but a Smart Government will be able to use the technology to control every aspect of the electric we use or should I say want to use.

Have an old appliances that still works great? You can forget it. Every appliance that was built before the smart grid will ultimately be denied electricity. In other words, once the “Smart” Grid is fully operational, everything in your house that requires a plug will likely have to be replaced.

There is no question that Air Conditioners in Washington DC and our State and Local Governments will continue to run 24/7 year round. Read More
