Delayed, over-budget smart meters will be helpful – when Blighty enters 'Star Trek phase'

Sounds like a PFI project I could get behind. I propose a low carbon delivery mechanism based on the pre-Industrial technologies favored by environmentalists. So horse drawn trebuchets to apply protestors to buildings. This simply expands on existing pre-industrial protesting methods, ie glueing oneself to a building is much like a self-enforced version of the old stocks.

Otherwise, if a 'smart' meter would receive a rates feed from suppliers and either allow me to pick the lowest tariff, or automatically switch to the lowest tariff, I'd sign up for one. But currently there's nothing 'smart' about these meters, or any real benefit for consumers.
