Another interesting part of this grid super-organism could be a very localized monitoring.

For example, imagine if you could pull up Google Maps and pinpoint via color who the energy hogs (per unit area) on your block are!    As in the case of the guy who doesn't mow his lawn, irate neighbors could bang on the door of the neer-do-wells and insist that they tune down their CO2 "just like the rest of us!"

And what about some Edward Tufte style graphics that could be used to show whether or not Leonardo di Caprio is using energy beneath, or above, his contributions to humanity.

Thanks for this great post.

I disagree with your last statement however.  Resources on a deregulated grid can be allocated decently if 1) prices are regulated some and 2) the public makes informed decisions.
