DUMB GRID FOR ILLINOIS TAXPAYERS AND JOBS!!!
The recent photo-op with Cook County Treasurer, Maria Pappas awarding the "Award of Excellence" (also displayed on the side of Advocate Christ Hospital & Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois) in the "Center of the Lockerbie for BP Oil Spill Storm" really indicates the direction Cook County Property Taxpayers will face come November 2nd and beyond.
The energy policies and handling of the United States of America's defenses are atrocious, and the blatant ignorance in the face of the America People will need to be dealt with a hard blow.
Michelle Malkin outlines in her book "Culture of Corruption - Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Cooks, and Cronies" the loss of jobs to the residents of the Gulf of Mexico region as well as the Illinois Energy Jobs losses which are foreseeable in the future under Osama's Moratorium against America --- not to mention his flip-flop Saudi 911-supporting progressive nominee for the United States' Supreme Court, Elana Kagan, which Osama fumbled recently while visiting David Cameron in the England instead of addressing his American acquisitions by responding to the England's Explosions in our Gulf Coast regions, inquisition of Hans Blix and the WMD program leading into the Iraq War in exchange for the Lockerbie BP Oil for Terror Release Program, and his own right to remain silent, the right to an attorney other than Sidley Austin and Brown, or the provisions of such.
Read an Excerpt of Cook County Treasurer, Maria Pappas, blatant support of the Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground and close associate of Barak Hussein Osama Obama's Communist-Socialist IUC Education Committee Boards' plans for the State of Illinois and its taxpayers' nuclear energy jobs, energy independence programs, and the release for terrorists' employment in South Korea with a South Korea Smart Grid that will "HOOKED UP EVERY ILLINOIS HOME TO SOUTH KOREA'S SMART GRID AT THE UNITED NATIONS"...

"In another noteworthy Chicago coincidence, Ayers's Weather Underground terrorist partner and wife Barnardine Dohrn was hired in 1984 by the same white-shoe law firm, Sidley Austin, that later recruited Michelle Obama. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy reported:
Ayers's father, Tom Ayers, a prominent Chicago businessman, was also deeply involved in the [education] reform effort. Interestingly, in 1988, while Obama and Ayers toiled on the same education agenda, Bernadine Dohrn worked as an intern at the prestigious Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin --- even though she could not be admitted to the bar due to her contempt conviction for refusing to cooperate in a terrorist investigation. How could that happen? It turns out that Sidley was the longtime outside counsel for Tom Ayers's company, COMMONWEALTH EDISON. That is Ayers's father had pull at the firm and successfully pressed for the hiring of his daughter-in-law.
Like Mrs. Obama's father, Ayers's father was a cog in the Daley political machine. Mrs. Obama and the elder Ayers's Commonwealth Edison shared another common bond: David Axelrod. Just as Mrs. Obama had relied on Axelrod's signature re-branding skills to sell an unpalatable program to Chicago's poor, Commonwealth Edison hired Axelrod's same public relations firm, ASK Public Strategies, to repackage a huge utility rate hike. Newsweek magazine reported that the company "took a creative lobbying approach, concocting a new outfit that seemed devoted to the public interest: Consumers Organized for Reliable Electricity, or CORE." This front ground ran fear-mongering ads warning of a "California-style energy crisis" if the utility rate increase wasn't approved. Axelrod failed to disclose that the ads were funded by Commonwealth Edison. Transparency for thee, but not for Team Obama.

THESE "UNPALATABLE PROGRAMS TO CHICAGO'S POOR" ARE NOW GOING TO BECOME A "REALITY" FOR EVERY STATE OF ILLINOIS TAXPAYER WITH A SOUTH KOREAN SMART GRID ELECTRICITY UNITED NATIONS' COMMUNITY ORGANIZED EFFORT TO DESTROY THE FABRIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FROM THE BOTHAM UP WHILE IMPOSING CRUSHING TAX BURDENS ON OUR UNBORN GRANDCHILDREN & DESTROYING MILLIONS OF JOBS ENSLAVED TO THE ENERGY POLICIES AND DEPENDENCIES OF NATIONS THAT HATE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BOMA/Chicago to Lead Commercial Smart Grid Pilot Program Through Illinois-Korea Collaboration
Program Empowers Office Buildings to Leverage Demand Response Technology to Reduce Energy Consumption and Costs
CHICAGO, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Building Owners and Managers Association of Chicago (BOMA/Chicago) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Korean Smart Grid Association and two of South Korea's largest energy and technology companies, KT Corporation and LG Electronics, to develop a commercial smart grid pilot program involving nearly a dozen office buildings in downtown Chicago. The pilot program will pioneer the construction of a virtual generator using buildings as electric grid resources. It will be the first smart grid pilot program of its kind in the United States.
The commercial smart grid pilot program is part of a larger umbrella effort between BOMA/Chicago, the Korean Smart Grid Association, the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition (ISTC) and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) to promote smart grid deployments at both commercial and residential buildings in Chicago. BOMA/Chicago will manage the commercial real estate component of the pilot program, while CUB will oversee the residential pilot.
The pilot program will be funded by a coalition of private sector technology companies associated with the Korean Smart Grid Association, including KT Corporation, LG Electronics, and several other Korea-based companies renowned for their smart grid technologies and expertise. The parties will select between six to 14 commercial and residential buildings for participation in the pilot program, with a Korean investment likely to total between $20 and $30 million.
Buildings will be selected for the pilot program based upon preliminary assessments of each candidate building's energy management systems, HVAC equipment, supply contract terms, ownership and tenant needs and other factors. Once the pilot buildings are selected, more extensive technical assessments are slated to begin within the next 90 days. Retrofit work and system programming will commence shortly thereafter, with the goal of conducting initial transactions by the end of the year, with the pilot becoming fully functional by summer 2011.
"BOMA/Chicago's collaboration with the Korean Smart Grid Association and the ISTC further advances Chicago's position as a global smart grid leader," said Michael Cornicelli, executive vice president of BOMA/Chicago. "We're excited to leverage the expertise and resources of our program partners to create the first commercial smart grid pilot in the United States, and set in motion the construction of a clean, virtual generator in downtown Chicago."
BOMA/Chicago's commercial smart grid pilot program will enable participating buildings to manage their electricity consumption more effectively and to monetize the resulting cost savings and demand response program revenues. Through the use of smart grid technologies, such as smart meters, variable speed drives and digital controls, building managers will develop more granular operational control of their energy systems. This, in turn, will enable them to curtail or reschedule energy usage in ways that will not adversely impact tenant comfort.
The pilot program will also include the creation of a Network Operating Center (NOC), which will interpret wholesale electricity market signals from PJM Interconnection, the grid operator, and convey them to the participating buildings. The buildings will then be able to respond to market signals by scheduling and implementing curtailment strategies that will both enhance grid performance and monetize the savings efforts. Participation in these demand response programs will be handled for the buildings through the NOC.
"This will be the first-ever test of the ability of large commercial and residential buildings to effectively aggregate their efforts in a large-scale demand response program. The success of this program will show that a green virtual generator can be created through those collaborative effects, eliminating the need to build yet another expensive generating facility," added Cornicelli.
The long-term goal of the program will be to expand its size and scope to include BOMA/Chicago's 260-plus member buildings. These buildings represent more than 80 percent of the square footage and an estimated 1,000 megawatts of peak demand in Chicago's central business district. BOMA/Chicago estimates that 20 percent of that peak demand, or 200 megawatts, could be curtailed through effective participation in its program, which is estimated to equal the output of a mid-sized coal powered generating facility and eliminate its need.
