Of course this is nutty. But keep in mind, this is coming from the same
people who wear tin foil hats.
AFIK there is no privacy invasion here. The communication is one way - to
turn off certain appliances when demand on the electrical grid makes it
necessary, and to restore power when peak loads have dropped.
There is nothing to communicate the status of the appliances otherwise.
This is less of an imposition on your freedom than a red traffic light that
requires the driver, under penalty of law, to stop his automobile to allow
efficient use of the traffic grid.

The potential for Orwellian privacy-invasion is more troubling ...
givr government and/or power companies the freedom to remotely
control my appliances?
Let me think about that ... ok, long enough ... NO!
