Consumers usually do not realize that they are using so much energy until they receive their month’s bill. Smart meters can do something to this problem by helping in efficient energy capacity distribution.
Money and time invested on developing alternative energy sources might just be useless unless the power distribution grid performs well in the efficient integration and translation of power. There might be major energy problems in the future as the electricity demand would be very high, unless an excellent management of smart grids will be implemented.
Fast forward in the future, and people would be riding on electric cars. There would be a large number of consumers who will be going home at the end of the day and recharge their vehicles. This could put strain on the system’s load. Consumers will end up paying more as the demand is already very high.
Smart grid will be able to communicate with energy sources and its end users. This serves as an educational platform that could encourage consumers to choose and “shop wisely” in terms of energy consumption. This will create a very well-balanced energy supply and demand as the smart grid is able to choose between the most efficient sources of energy at any given time.
Smart grid is an initiative in the front and center as Obama’s administration is allocating from the economic stimulus package some $4Billion. At face value, the smartest way to spend this smart grid budget is to have a “smart meter” installed in every household. Approximately, it will cost $100 or higher and would even cost more to run. However, consumers will be able to save a considerable amount with a meter that’s a little more complex.
The smart meter is a great help in cutting down on reading costs as it is able to send information between the power company and the meter wirelessly. If needed, it can also inform the company if there is any problem which therefore allows remote monitoring of use. Ultimately, smart meters can communicate with the utilities and appliances that are within the property, which allows consumers to enlist in programs which use clean energy sources.
Ideally, appliances should be configured to operate during times when electricity demand is low. This largely affects the consumers’ monthly bills as the price of electricity is usually high when the demand is also high. When it comes to electric cars, an approach called V2G (vehicle to grid) can be used, which allows a vehicle that’s plugged in overnight to absorb excess electric supply and return if needed.
In the world, Italy is leading in smart metering and smart grid. It is estimated that about 30 million smart meters will be able to pay for themselves in 5 years as an impact of the savings each year. Smart meters and smart grids will be assets in the future as the demand for sustainable resource planning is rising.

Cars as power plants earning up to $1,800 per year was the subject of a Vehicle to Grid (V2G) demonstration at the AAAS meeting last week. Second generation V2G automobiles might provide as much $3,000 per year.
The love affair with automobiles, coupled with rising oil prices, provides a means of mobilizing widespread public support for revolutionary new technology.
As an example, fractional Hydrogen will turn a barrel of ordinary water into the equivalent of 200 barrels of oil.
A comprehensive article: “Hydrinos Offer Free Fuel for the World’s Power Plants”, at: http://www.american-reporter.com is really a story about fractional Hydrogen.
Two laboratories have validated this hard to believe technology. More, including national laboratories, should do the experiments.
Engines in hybrid cars, fueled by fractional Hydrogen from water, are expected to travel 1,000 miles on a few gallons of ordinary water.
The engine can run when parked, spinning a generator and wirelessly providing power to the grid.
This is one of two technology breakthroughs that can make possible Super V2G, which is expected to turn future cars into much more powerful power plants. Payments to owners might pay the cost of the vehicle.
The second technology, solid-state magnetic generators, will replace batteries. For good reason, few will believe it possible until validated by independent laboratories.
For an outline of the steps involved in making these technologies happen, see: http://www.aesopinstitute.org
It would appear that Mark Goldes is either outright lying, completely delusional, or as dumb as a box of rocks.
He’s been spewing this type of nonsense for many years. Please readers, if the “magnetic generators” statement didn’t make you laugh, do a bit of research on Goldes.
