I got a notice recently that they're putting smart meters on homes around here. Their informational flyer has a Q&A that says there are no privacy concerns, no health concerns, and no, they won't limit the amount of power you can use.

They quote "numerous studies" to assure us of the safety of having a smart meter on our homes. I didn't see any links to said studies, and I have zero reason to believe it. I'll call the number given to "discuss my options" if I don't want one (I don't), but it will add a $15 charge to my bill every month.

Whatever. We lose power here on the reg. It's maddening, and this seems such a problem ~ reaction ~ solution thing. "Smart meters will reduce the number of power outages..."

Fuckers.

They won't just put it on, though. We had a house fire, and the power has been off for months already.
