"Smart" is about as bullshit as how things are labeled "Green". Anyone could throw those words around as marketing ploys. It's a gimmick.
Of course politicians will be interested in some "smart" solution, because it implies the current way is "dumb", and nobody wants to be "dumb". "Smart" =/= "Better". In various ways, proposed "smart" solutions are actually worse or have new consequences, making them not so smart of decisions in the first place.
This kind of stuff is a new lure companies use to fish for money.
