Good Morning PEEDS...The above is in Military Parlance-GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), nicknamed "MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS"...
The reason for the title is due to what just took place at my residence...A Sun Power & Light guy (I live in Florida) just replaced my electrical meter in 3 seconds - wait for it---> BECAUSE he got notified by a company in North Carolina that my meter was bad and needed to be replaced...
I then pointed out that with that capability they could turn off POWER too any home in a matter of seconds and he said "YES" they could and what is more frightening is that ALL NEW homes are NOW PART OF A GRID system...Also, he pointed out that any homes before a certain year will also be converted at NO expense to the owner...also, the meters don't last more than three (3 years)...WASTE OF RESOURCES!!!
P.S. This is my first post on this site so--- be extremely gentle...😂😂😂😂😂
I live rural. I'm in kitchen hear a rumble on the outside wall. Go out turn corner and there's the asshole writing down the new meter number. Now I got a dog with me and he's giving him the what for. I tell him pulling a move like that could possibly get him shot. My exact words are you could have been shot. I'm so pissed off I storm away from what he's doing and go back inside. My wife gets a call an hour later from elec Co op explaining they don't take threats lightly. So he goes back after our conversation and lies to his superiors that I threatened him. Now I'm screaming while my wife's on the phone that if they thought that was a threat then to send his lying ass back and I'll show him a threat. After 10 minutes of them pointing the finger we want to see a superior face to face. They decline. After this I found out that all new meters communicate to one another like a daisy chain and when the reach a communication hub it downloads all the daisy chained info to main office. They use to have to drive by to get the data but now it's automated. The gate stays shut now. Next time it will play out way different. County sherriff wont even go thru shut gate.
Until next time
Ps
Don't go off half cocked!
No, this is wrong. You have electric, you EXPECT someone to read it. If you can't hack that, then get rid of it. The guy was doing his job. He does not need some lunatic pretending to threaten him. What do you want - for them to make an appointment every time the meter needs to be read? Ridiculous.
#1 yup I got electric #² no one reads the meter it reads itself and passes the information on to the nearest uplink. #3 yup he was doing his job. #4 I never threatened him. #5 a courtesy call that's it call me let me know your here. #6 again nobody reads my meter it's automated and I know this. Nobody ever shows at my house to read it. Never
If it's true that they don't actually have to come out to read your meter (which would mean you have a Smart meter) then yes, it's sketchy. But if he actually did have a legitimate reason to be there, (yearly check on the equipment, for instance) then you shouldn't make it any harder on him or anybody. For instance, I seriously hate people who leave a vicious dog in a yard when they know some dude has to go read the meter or drop off a package, etc. But I still think a courtesy call is not realistic.
