Emerging dev platform: The electrical grid

In much of the Western world, electricity is so stable that it's boring. 
Plug your device into the wall and it works. A month later you get a 
bill, and after you pay it -- as they say in the country music business 
-- the circuit remains unbroken.

There is no reason why we can't enjoy a much richer, more sophisticated 
electrical grid with flexible pricing, self-healing circuits, and an app 
market full of opportunities.

Filtrete, for instance, offers a programmable thermostat that is 
Wi-Fi-enabled and ready for remote access.
