If those meters allow the utility or the government to control what I’m doing with the electricity that I pay for, or how much I use, or when I use it, screw ’em. GTHO of our state.
it’s kinda sad that apparently the meters are a lot smarter than some of the cusomers who (for ridiculous, made up reasons) refuse to allow them to be put in. if they are that paranoid, they better not use the internet or a cellphone, use a bank, or a credit card, because Big Brother is probably snooping on them!
Thank you. If everyone would just take the Blue Pill like you did, our job would be so much easier.
Everybody remember; it’s the Blue Pill in November!
First of all, Magnolia is not in East Texas – it’s a suburb of Houston. Second, when they installed my smart meter, I wasn’t home. My daughter heard them installing it and was afraid to go outside and see what was going on. We only knew because of the paperwork they left on my front door. I didn’t have a chance to accept or reject it. A great majority of people work during the day, when the installers are coming around. We should be able to opt out without having to pull guns or build cages around our meters!
No, Bob, these are not ridiculous, made up reasons. The utility companies admit that they are using it to spy on us, to see if we are using ‘too much’ electricity (that we are paying a premium for) and if they decide that we are, they admit they will use it to turn off our appliances whenever they think it is appropriate. (“Utility officials say they can use the real-time information to help prevent grid overloads during extreme temperatures. The devices would also promote conservation, such as cycling air conditioners on and off during peak demand periods.”)NO, we don’t like the utility company having a remote control for our air conditioners, pool pumps, medical devices, or whatever else we are choosing to power. That is not ridiculous.

Lots of company with their head up their wazoos.
