This week, we dive deep into the technocratic tyranny that is the smart grid, and the Internet of things. Topics explored include an exposé of the privacy ramifications of what is called "Non-Instrusive Load Monitoring" (NALM), and the Congressional authorization of data mining through smart grid devices and systems. We talk about the origins and functionality of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and how the electric industry has been given regulatory power over itself (the watchers watching the watchers). The decoupling of electric rates from market-based realities is also discussed, meaning that you, as a consumer, get to pay more, even as they force you to conserve.
