Good Morning, and Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm sitting in my Brother-In-Law's family room writing this week's Blog and getting ready for the all-day-food-fest that is a get together with my family. While the coffee perks, I'm thinking about the latest I3 Magazine (It Is Innovation, a CES house magazine.) A single page filler article at the back really caught my attention, because it puts some numbers to things I've been saying for a while.
A wide-ranging (some might say "rambling") discussion of Smart Grid, and related topics.

Simple Economics
This is just some "mental doodles" on how electricity could be priced in the retail market, if we were starting with a blank slate. Some of these musings might not be practical in terms of a transition from what is, but it may be a useful exercise in goals.
I'm no economist, so I would appreciate comment and discussion from those who are trained in the field. I will be updating this "scratchpad" as time goes on:

Thoughts from SGIP 2.0
Just a quick update from the venue at the Inaugural SGIP 2.0 meeting. First off: SGIP 2.0? Whazzat?
The SGIP was created as a mostly-public public/private organization, to help NIST meet its mandate from the Energy Independence and Security Act. That was 1.0. Now it has finished its first year of transition to a mostly privately funded entity. That's 2.0. The mission is largely the same, but now it's mostly member-funded and member-driven. There are a lot of moving parts involved, but that's the high level view.
Topics that seem to be getting a lot of traction include:
