A reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle admits that many current microgrids are actually temporary diesel generators rather than permanent green energy solutions. The hosts argue that microgrids are a "scam" designed for ultimate energy control, allowing utilities to remotely manage or shut off individual household appliances.

A pilot project in the Miller neighborhood of Austin, Texas, known as the Pecan Street project, uses smart meters to monitor home energy consumption every 15 seconds. Critics argue these microgrids are designed for total utility control over consumer appliances and air conditioning.

Consultants Tristan Jackson and Andrea Ruttalo discussed connecting local energy consumption to generation to make consumers more aware of their environmental impact. Some observers compare the current push for rolling blackouts and grid restructuring to the Enron-era energy scams in California.
