Proposed EPA-Backed Smart Grid Will Track CO2 Emissions & Internet Use
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 14, 2011, 8:25 AM
The proposed Smart Grid supported by the Obama Administration and the EPA will not only track your electricity use, it will allow companies and the government to track your internet use and CO2 emissions.
The P/Oed Patriot reported on the proposed plan.
The Energy Industry, and the Obama administration, claim that the Smart Grid will allow the utility company the ability to provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about the energy use of everything in your home and in turn will save you money on your energy bill by helping you adjust your energy use. Not to mention help lower carbon emissions…
…The North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB), with the cooperation of the Environmental Protection Agency, has completed Priority Action Plan 10 (PAP-10) or as it is officially titled the NAESB Energy Usage Information Model. PAP-10 details the standards for the type of information that will be collected through the Smart Grid.
Here is a list of SOME of the information that is to be collected through the Smart Grid as apart of that “Required Business Standard”:
** CO2 created by your Energy Use
** Electricity, Gas Use and Current Rates
** Refuse (trash) and Sewerage Use
** TV Licence Use
** Internet Use
Read the whole thing and prepare yourself to be monitored.

TV LICENSE? We don’t pay a TV Licensing Fee here in the US. That is the UK – to the tune of several hundred pounds a year just to own a TV.

This is a payback to General Electric. Remember a couple years ago they were advocates of the point of use real time monitoring or power demand so that theoretically they could balance supply against demand by curtailing or having variable rate charging. I got the new meter several months ago. Trouble is no one will tolerate having their power for ac/heat curtailed due other customers priority. SO now there is many billions of dollars of our money spent on point of use monitoring that has no apparent use, and the EPA is trying to figure out uses for data. What we have here is an expensive solution without a problem in WON WTF epa

People voted for Left into power knowing full well that this is exactly what the totalitarian-minded Left does. Elections have consequences. Expect your taxes to be dynamically adjusted based on your various “usages”. People below a certain income level will pay a reduced rate (or no rate at all) for the various services they’ve consumed and people above a certain income level will pay a higher rate for consuming the same services. It’s the new American way! Or as Barack Obama would say the “Post-American Way!”
Ginger commented:
Off Topic
I have this total fear for our Navy Seals names being leaked. For one thing Barry the Kenyan FRAUD has placed his muslim cousins in every department of the government! They have access to the information and if not one phone call and they will have it. Barry is taking our country down for his muslim cousins and not so much for communism. I am still praying for that “Act of God”
Kenny Solomon commented:
For the umpteenth time…….
This is NOT emanating from the administration.
It’s coming from ICLEI and ICR2P – both of whom have many members in very high positions in the administration, including the czars.
A complete and Totalitarian takeover.
Big L commented:
1. RE”Seals fate-That is probably others who were overruled. So the back-up plan is to ruin the entire operation ex post facto by leaks of secret procedures and to get these guys indicted by the Ineternational Criminal Courts. Even if we are not apart of ICC, the Seals could not travel anymore as they’d be sublect to arrest out of USA.We will never have an op like this again.
2.Mark Levin was saying 5-12 show that Obama admin is going to use the tax code to regulate spending. It isover at maklevinshow.com for free.May 12 show-Jay Carney slips it in.Please ck it out.
3. We got the new computered elect meters in so Calif.The installer said it can be turned off and down and read at the office. Expect them in your area. Also they have bugs too. No wheels, no numbered gauges anymore.No proof.

Not only this, but the Obama administration is trying to take away the right for a state to grant its own “Clean Air” permits as required by law. That state? You guessed it: TEXAS.

Greg #3: GE and the government will find lots of uses for that data. We are witnessing the government takeover of our lives.
M #6: I agree. The “skyrocketing electric rates” will not be a problem for Obama’s favored people. It is the working stiff who will be plundered, yet again, by the government.
RedBeard commented:
“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself–anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime…”

Washington is fully engaged on a new front in its war on prosperity…Wrapped in the cloak of junk science, Washington is trying its best to add another chain around the feet of our people…The truth is that there is no such thing as a “greenhouse gas.” Al Gore collecting a few thousand so-called research scientist vying for grant money to say that carbon dioxide is a pollutant doesn’t make it so…Thank god that GW Bush kept Al Gore out of office or we would already be paying trillions in carbon taxes to the thieves in Washington. Anecdotal I know but, I saw snow three times in SC in 2010. I grew up in SC and am certain that has not happened in decades if even in the last century. Global warming is merely the cover story for more creeping central government, read communism. Obama and his freshmen undergrad politics must be stopped for he is leading us from Superpower to third world beggars as fast as he can…

“”Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?… Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?… The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking-not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”

We already have smart grids here in OKC. Didn’t believe the BS from the electric company but what are ya gonna do? There was no opt out option. Now they are pushing wind power. I know where I would like to push them.

Thanks for putting this bunch in office you freaking parasites. BTW while you were waiting on your hand outs they stole 21% of your savings and gave you a 21% cut in pay through inflation since June of last year.

…with the cooperation of the Environmental Protection Agency,…
This agency needs to be disbanded. The sooner the better.
dwd commented:
There are very few reasons to be monitored, and only one good one.
1. calculating your bill (ie: your water meter, electric meter, gas meter, etc)
2. finding new ways to tax you based on your behavior
3. making you afraid to do what you want and USED TO BE FREE TO DO because someone is now watching you with a magnifying glass
4. future retribution against people who go against the wishes of those doing the monitoring
wheezer commented:
There may come a time we will have to buy our own generators, windmills, listen to radio free America, and use computers with false addresses. Hybrid vehicles, sat cell phones with encryption, and either your own garden or community gardens to subsides your food. Sounds far fetched? Maybe but it is something to think about….
theBuckWheat commented:
There will be many ways to decline to participate in any meaningful way from this system. And of course, nobody will ever be able to hack it. I notice “TV license use”. Either that is a reference to the UK where a tax on televisions is used to pay for broadcasting, or we are in for a new tax. If so, this will hasten the demise of the legacy media even more as an increasing number of young people do not even own a TV.
I would note that allowing government to tax income of necessity destroyed financial privacy, if only because the power to tax implies the power to audit the records upon which the”voluntary” tax is based. The Intrusive Grid will destroy energy privacy, and as people circumvent and opt out by passive-aggressive subterfuges, government will grow hostile to non-compliance. Same-ole, same-ole coercion, compulsion and collusion with big business “partners”, like GE.
I now live in the land of the Used To Be Free.
AuntieMadder commented:
I know I keep pushing the following four-part article on you for the last couple of years but it really is a must-read. GE, Barky and his administration/regime of czars, NBC/MSNBC, Immelt, Daschle, and even Newt Gingrich, among other players in DC, are as thick as thieves because – well, because they’re thieves. GE has invested so much in their Healthymagination and Cap & Tax “solutions” and in Barky’s election in 2008 (and are surely investing already in his 2012 reelection) that these efforts to have taxpayers make their investments pay off will not stop. Expect them to keep coming at us from both directions – left and right – with bill after bill and proposal after proposal until either they get the $$$ they want from YOU are the majority of Americans are on to them and tell them to go screw themselves.
From: Obamagate – The tangled web of Obama, GE, Immelt, Cap & Trade, GE Healthcare and Daschle part I:
This is one of the most convoluted political webs that I have ever seen. In order to break it down I am writing this in several parts – As I researched and started writing I realized that this is not a simple story. There is so much information regarding GE available that as I researched one area I discovered another that is part of the tangled web. This will be an ongoing project and as new and more twisted information evolves I will research and publish. I still do not understand how any of this is legal. It is obviously not ethical but since when are politicians and greedy, desperate CEO’s ethical. You can decide for yourself.

From Part II:
The very man who outright states his mission with Cap & Trade is to make money sits on Obama’s Economic Advisory Board. Obama has continually blasted Wall Street for months. While Obama is touting how wonderful Cap & Trade will be in reducing the devastating effects of the yet unproven Global Warming theories, one of his advisors is rubbing his hands together and dreaming about dollar signs the closer cap & trade gets to passing in Congress. GE even created a brand new division in 2005 called GE Ecomagination – from Immelt: “GE Economagination is GE’s commitment to address challenges such as the need for cleaner, more efficient sources of energy, reduced emissions and abundant sources of clean water.”

From Part III:
Obama set aside billions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. This is the act that wants all medical practices to provide patient information to the federal government by 2015. Medicaid and Medicare patients already have their information sent to the federal government. Personally I do not want the federal government to know my medical treatment nor do I want them to ever have a say in it.
The HITECH Act is also another way for companies such as GE to make millions.

From Part IV:
This is a final of my Obamagate series in trying to untangle the web regarding Obama, GE Healthcare, Immelt and Daschle. Part III became so long that I thought I would continue with a new article. I also discovered a new twist in this web – Newt Gingrich(former Republican Speaker of the House) and Bill Frist (former Republican Senator) are also on the board of Healthymagination alongside (former Democratic Senator)Tom Daschle.

1984? Yep
But I feel that we’re on a point where the Third American Revolution could be upon us very quickly.
Secession may become an option. I believe that, if the federal government spits on the rights of the indivitual states and, even worse, on the rights of the individual citizens, rights guaranteed by the Constitution, then the individual states have the duty and the individual citizens have the right to defend those rights.
Tracking internet usage? Just wait, soon someone will say that, in order to fight terrorism, federal law enforcement must be allowed to use trojans.

Keep your powder dry.
Francesca commented:
Is anyone else becoming frightened by all this? Every day, I read of a new attack on our way of life and become ever more afraid of my own government. Realistically, what are we going to do? What CAN we do? The Democrats are going to do everything in their power to steal the next elections, and if we don’t find a way to stop them, we are doomed. If I were younger, I would seriously consider leaving my own country. I am by turns furious, scared, and depressed.
Joanne commented:
The U.S. military know Obama is a fraud, and they know what is happening in the U.S. They need to step up, honour their Oath, and defend the Constitution from the foreign domestic enemy, Barack Hussein Obama II.
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Oh Please God– no Sirhan Sirhan—-everything this man ever purposed will then be inacted by a guilt-ridden group of congressmen. Besides that they will then name every school and every road after him. Please do not wish for that—–wish for all of his socialist /communist ideas to be soundly rejected by the awakened American people. And then he leaves the WH in disgrace and goes down in history as the worst President we ever had.
Sistrum commented:
“Smart” grid. Right. You know the original, and a still-used, meaning of the word “smart” is “to be painful” — as in “Hey! That smarts!” I’m convinced one of the reasons libs are soooo enamored of the word is they love that implicit whip-crack, as if their so-called intelligence gives them the right to inflict suffering on whom they wish.

Any such action, besides being absolutely cretinous, would set race relations back 100 years in this country.
You are obviously not sincere in your conservative beliefs if you were you’d know we win debates because we win in the Marketplace of Ideas.
