Find out what's up with the Four Horsemen of the smart grid

Read a very interesting analysis this morning about the "Four Horsemen" of the smart grid (ABB, GE Schneider & Siemens) that Greentech Media published on www.seeking alpha.com. "Distribution Automation 2.0: Who's Buying Whom?" explores the recent acquisitions and market focus of each of these companies for the utility market's smart grid. The article also republished an interesting but tough-to-prove promotional claim by Schneider Electric: Schneider apparentlly likes to say that 70% of the world's electrons flow through its equipment. This article at www.gigaom.com offers additional insight into Schneider's strategy for the smart grid.
