Google Maps of Power

My last post on Google and Energy generated some interest and a few comments. So I started looking up the areas I knew that were doing work with Smart Metering - mostly in Texas. I stumbled across this very interesting map that shows worldwide applications of Smart Metering - not just for electricity, but also gas and water. 

So checkout this Worldwide Smart Metering Project Map and let me know what you think.

It shows all sites that are in trial or an actual project, and a pop-up gives some more background information (number in the trial, companies/technology involved, etc.). It also indicates if it is AMR or AMI. I expected more AMR dots, but I was surprised by the number of AMI dots.

It seems like this SmartGrid stuff already has some Brains, we just need to "connect-the-dots" better.
