I live in CO and signed up for this program when it was first announced. I was pretty surprised to see the interview going around with the resident that was so mad about it, as mentioned it is a voluntary program. But, I am also probably biased: I signed up for it without knowing that they were paying me to do it; I was happy to cooperate in the case of grid stress, without knowing that I was going to get paid for it. This feels a bit like this guy is saying "Where is my freedom to make brownout or blackout?" :-)
