And I don't mean this in the pejorative sense. If any company can capitalize on the kind of data transparency afforded by a smart grid implementation, it's Google.

Both men are visionaries but only one of them is in the energy business. Isn't it great seeing them come together. The combination of IT 'can do' with the disciplines of power engineering will have awesome consequences.
