The smart grid is cool, but I'm really excited for the wise grid.

Is the energy use a need or a luxury? Have all avenues towards efficiency been explored to meet the most need with the least energy? Is this energy deployed equitably? Who or what was harmed to make this energy and how could that harm be prevented?

Let's not settle for a smart energy system when we really need a wise one.

@bethsawin You're right of course but given the level of wisdom applied to other systems, health, education, social care, economy etc I don't think it's likely to happen. Most political systems in the developed world are wedded to the idea of the wisdom of crowds and the supremacy of the free market.
