Here’s a seemingly obvious but strangely overlooked mantra for the smart grid: Much like the Internet, for the smart grid to work, it will have to be distributed, collaborative and voluntary, says “Father of the Internet,” Vint Cerf in this video. The clip is from a speech he made at a conference earlier this year. A smart grid network, Cerf said, will be highly dependent on “people’s willingness to connect in this way,” and “this is not going to be something that can be forced on anyone no matter how hard we try.”
