BASED ON A LIE TOLD BY THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY THAT YOU HAVE SWALLOWED HOOK, LINE AND SINKER.

Do you understand ME now?
A smart grid is coming no matter what, it is needed no matter what. So you are showing yet again that you haven't got a clue about this topic. You have no basis for your claims except your vulgar rants and frankly that is not in the least persuasive.

For the 4th time, where do you get your faulty information?

You also forgot to look at the evidence the clearly contradicts you:

Smart Grid Heavy Hitters – Jon Wellinghoff, Chair of US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Jon Wellinghoff is the Chairman of the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) – the FERC is the agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil. As such, the FERC was the agency which Google Energy applied to for its licence to buy and sell electricity on the wholesale market, for example.

Shortly after his appointment as Chair of the FERC in 2009 by Barack Obama, Chairman Wellinghoff made headlines when he said, "No new nuclear or coal plants may ever be needed in the United States… renewables like wind, solar and biomass will provide enough energy to meet baseload capacity and future energy demands."...

Poor Chairman Wellinghoff, perhaps you could send him a version of your spin-for-nuclear nonsense and he would re-evaluate his conclusions. Some reading for you:
