The document you provided a link to is nothing more than a vision
statement. There are no specifics, plans or time-lines.

It is a document to encourage early investment.

Exactly. It has *zero* data.

Really? Are you that stupid?

Quote one verifiable data point in the article. Hell man, the freakin' title of the document is "A Vision for the Smart Grid". Vision. Fluff.

Here's an example:
"And finally, the Smart Grid will operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster. It will incorporate a system-wide solution that reduces physical and cyber vulnerabilities and enables a rapid recovery from disruptions. Its resilience will create an image that intimidates would-be attackers.. It will also be less vulnerable to natural disasters."

Precisely how will it be resilient, enable rapid recovery, and be intimidating to would-be attackers? With "a system-wide solution". snerk It is full of that type of pie-in-the-sky fluff meant to sell the idea to non-technical people. Completely non-technical, non-specific, marketing fluff. Nothing in there can be verified because there are no specifics, and that's on purpose.

Tell me you aren't that gullible.

Oh, never mind.

What we need is a good solid definition of "it will"
