irony was just thinking about the money NOT using smart meter costs me today.
I pay about 12$ (US) to NOT have smart meter, I am in area with constant power blinks, etc (rural Maine) and do not want anyone to have the ability to remotely shut my power off to reduce load.
have some physical issues that make it keeping house at 71-72F a necessity as well as multiple ML350G5 servers running.
ah well I digress..
