Define the 'Smart Grid.' I hear a pause. Can't do it? You are not alone.
The Smart grid means different things to different people. Some people think its about long overdue grid modernization of control and transmission assets. And other people think it's more than that.

We'll call it the IoT of electricity. So, what does the Smart Grid mean to you?
Poll Question: I've listed a number of "smart grid" innovations currently being built and/or implemented. Which one best typifies the term 'Smart Grid' to you.
