The government have been researching possible ways to conserve energy and find new ways to generate and regulate energy. The researchers proposed incorporating a "smart grid". "Smart grid" is a digital distribution system. This system distributes electricity, while eliminating waste and improving reliability. The "smart grid" would also give alternative fuel suppliers business opportunities.
Within in the "smart grid" system, a "smart meter" will be used to give customers advice on how to reduce their electricity bill as well as the ability to see electronically how much electricity has been consumed.
I think this is a wonderful idea, because it providing a solution to on-going issue of how to conserve the natural resources used to provide electricity and finding alternatives to providing electricity. Also with today's economy it help with utility costs, but it's just my opinion let me know what you think.
