It means that we can make enormous advances in national energy efficiency - and controlling carbon emissions - simply by improving the grid, before we even begin to clean up our energy sources. The key is to add 21st century speed and intelligence (i.e., the Internet) to the 20th century infrastructure of the power grid - voilà, a "smart grid." The result would be a system that allows power utilities to remotely detect and respond to outages; that lets consumers program their appliances to use electricity when it's most abundant, allowing power companies to reduce waste...
