Just Say NO
I'm getting badgered to install a new meter. I live in a modern purpose build apartment complex with centralised heating and hot water. There is no gas. My electricity bills are between £20 and £30 per month. The amount mostly depends on whether I use the hob to prepare a stock of dishes to freeze down, or not. Modern solid state computers, network equipment and television are pretty economical to run, my "designer" lamps have LEDs, appliances were all selected with a view to being economical to run.
What is a smart meter going to to do, tell me not to pre-cook my dinners? Go out and watch a friend's television?
Despite telling the garlic-munching electricity company that there are no worthwhile savings to be made, they still want to install a new meter. They must be making money out of this.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
