Smart meters do away with meter-readers, right? Wrong. Power companies continue to send them round to be sure that their ‘smart’ meters are reporting consumption accurately. Which kind of invalidates the stated raison d’être in favour of the hidden agenda.
Smart meters are really a device to let power companies charge more when the wind ain’t blowing and the sun ain’t shining, and the over-subsidized ‘sometime availables’ aren’t available and the ‘always on’ gas and coal-fuelled power stations are producing much cheaper electricity at artificially inflated prices.
