My meter runs fine right now and there is no need for a "smart meter" on my house. Especially nice is that my wife who sleeps pretty near our meter doesn't have any of those problems listed in the link.
You don't own that meter. The electric company can change it anytime they choose, they own the meter.
Let's see. Invading privacy and violating civil rights in the name of public safety....sounds about right. Ignoring possible health concerns to pass their agenda. Yep, these ladies need to sue the crap out of the city.
And, just how far do you honestly think you'll get without a full-blown revolution behind you??????
No, revolution is not the answer, but I suggest you get some different people in office. And, they had better be people that currently do not have any political connections. Another words, anyone but a politician would be a far better choice. Of course, either way, it's still a type of revolution. But, neither one is going to happen until they get bold enough to step on EVERYBODY'S TOES.
When they bring those things around my tiny town I wonder if they will pay me because we keep our house at 68 in winter and 72 in summer. That cuts down on electricity a bunch but we don't do it to help the electric company or to make the UN and Agenda 21 happy. We do it to save money. Of course, we have electric everything and do manage to use some of it for all those things.
How does keeping your house that hot in the winter and that cool in the summer "cut down on electricity a bunch"?
That's pretty hard to do when the government (or it's cronies) own the service.
Funny, I canceled several electric company contracts. Every time I have moved I have stopped service, the government didn't force me to keep the service.
I wonder if they will pay me because we keep our house at 68 in winter and 72 in summer.
You want the government to pay you money?
Congratulations! Between that and those social security checks you collect every month you are officially a part of the 47%. Make sure to call your congressman and let him know.
They are also concerned on having the government control their energy. If you use too much a day or at certain times of the day they can turn it off from outside your home. From the grid.
They are also concerned about privacy in all areas. On the web if you google anything it's recorded and cookies are put on your computer that follows you. Then advertisers can send you their ads but we already know that. Just look at the ads you see, it's tailored to your interests.
Google keeps a record of what you search. If you want some privacy you can do your searches from the site--- www.startpage.com they will go to Google for you and then pass on the info to you. They will be the go between so Google does not know it was you then startpage will delete the info after sending it to you.
Seems the government wants to know all about us, it can be creepy.
Go ahead and say something about what I said and the video said about Agenda 21 and those meters. Maybe you would like to mention all the physical problems that were mentioned in that video, just for kicks. You did not watch the video and we both know it.
Ehm - you linked to blog post, not a video. So in a sense, I suppose, you're correct.
The "physical problems" have never, not once, been replicated in double blind tests. I consider them quite on par with dowsing or using a pendulum or crystal therapy.
As for the Agenda 21 speculation, well - it's kinda silly. So your meter is suddenly going to take control of your thermostat without your knowledge - how?
What happens when the government, no matter what level, begins to measure what we use and tells us that we don't need that much and cuts down what we can use? I said in an earlier post that we keep our house at 68 degrees in winter and about 70 in summer. How much credit will we get for using less than most people do? Nothing, you say? That is just what I thought.
I don't like all those cookies on my computer, it messes it up. I try to delete them everytime I log off. It's just smart to keep your computer up to date and try to keep advertizers off your screen, get rid of all the spam.
