don't know about all that, but my fricken bill has gone up
about 20% since they installed the MF

These meters are being installed to save the power company money but the
public service commission here in Delaware has approved a price increase
so the customer pays for them. *Wonder who in the hell this makes sense

Mostly to the green environmentalists who buy into the
most extraordiary claims. Like that these meters are
essential to allow solar and wind resources to be used.
WTF? We have solar panels all over the place here
in the Peoples Republic of NJ and no smart meters.
Funny, they seem to work just fine.

The main advantage that I see is they allow for billing
rates to vary by period. That way the utility could charge
higher rates during peak periods and the billing would
more closely reflect your actual usage. An example of
that would be if you charged your electric car at night
and they charged you less because it's off peak. But
for those cases, mabye a better idea is to let those
people who have an electric car and want to get a lower
rate at night, pay for the meter themselves....
