Smart metering has been a thing in Nordics for past 20 years, and it has enabled per hour pricing that guides electricity usage away from peak hours (you have to build the network/production for the peak consumption, which is a problem).
This is pretty nonsense rambling.
What US of course needs is proper privacy laws. Electricity usage is protected by GDPR in EU, so it would be illegal for anyone else than you and your grid operator to see your consumption.
Privacy laws here in America are about as real as the American Dream. We’re more likely to see Jesus return from Heaven, walking on a stairway made of clouds than to see actually useful privacy laws. We’re more likely to see the rich elite willingly giving up all their wealth and power before we get privacy laws.
