I asked WHY pay by meter. You're paying for the meter
maintainence and reading.

Because it's accurate. Meter reading is done remotely in my
area.
There isn't anyone walking through yards dodging ugly dogs.
Water is metered and so is electricity.
A lot of the irrigation wells in my area are powered by
commercial electric power. Those are on load control for the
most part. Farmers
pay different rates based on how much load control the utility
can exercise.
A farmer who is shut off for two days pays less than a farmer
who is shut off for a day. The wells are typically shut down
from about 10 AM to about
10 PM.
That's when the air conditioners in offices and homes are
working at their
peak.

Sounds like you're running in a country with **** all resources.

We just watched what happens when people don't conserve and use
common sense.

JWS is either a moron who has never heard of the tragedy of the
commons, or a troll who has and doesn't care. Either way, why are
you giving him what he wants, which is some attention in his sad
and pathetic excuse for a life?

applause!


You have to admit he incites more rational discussion than his
detractors.


The clown is a troll who never "hears" anything said to him. Show me
even a few cases where he has "changed his mind" in any of these
"discussions". He just repeats his stupid assumptions forever. Just
like this one.
