What's Smart ?

 Is it not the case, that the Development or otherwise of the Smart Grid, is likely to be lead by Market Considerations ?. Will this not mean that the Grid will become Engineered, towards this end ?. Is it not also the case, that some sort of paralleling in Grid supply, is likely to develop. Meaning that there could well develop, a choice of actual connections !. Some virtual, and some physical !.. While at the same time,  Elephants in the room, are likely to be the Off-Grid, and small self powering items ?.
